Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Determine the surface area of the square pyramid, given that side length = 8 cm and slant height = 12 cm.

2

Step

The given values are

l = 8 cm and h = 12 cm

3

Formula

To find the surface area of a square pyramid, you can use the following formula

\$"A_square-pyramid"​ = s^2 + 4 times (1/2 times s times l)\$

4

Formula

Now find the base area by using the formula then make it simpler

⇒ \$"A_base" = s^2\$

⇒ \$"A_base" = 8^2\$

⇒ \$"A_base" = 64\$ sq.cm

5

Formula

Now then find the area of a triangle then make it simpler

⇒ \$"A_triangle" = 1/2 times s times l\$

⇒ \$"A_triangle" = 1/2 times 8 times 12\$

⇒ \$"A_triangle" = 48\$ sq.cm

6

Step

Now plug the value in the surface area of formula

⇒ \$"A_square-pyramid"​ = 64 + 4 times 48\$

⇒ \$"A_square-pyramid" = 64 + 192\$

⇒ \$"A_square-pyramid" = 256 "cm"^2\$

7

Step

Therefore, the surface area of the square pyramid is \$256 "cm"^2\$.

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

9

Choice.A

This is not correct because it is much smaller than the correct value

48 sq.cm

10

Choice.B

This is not correct because that represents only the base area, and it does not include the lateral are

64 sq.cm

11

Choice.C

This is incorrect because base area is not included in the total surface area calculation

192 sq.cm

12

Choice.D

This is correct for the surface area of the square pyramid with a side length of 8 cm and a slant height of 12 cm

256 sq.cm
