Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
base = 784 sq in² 28 in tall pyramid
each side of the square base = √784 also equals 28
using the Pythagorean theorem the length of each side of the pyramid from the base to the point is
(side/2)² + height² =( length of the pyramid face)²
(28/2)² + 28² = 196 + 784 = 980 = (face length)²
face length = √980 = 31.3
area of the pyramid = 4 sides × area of each face + the area of the base
= 4×[(1/2)(base)(face length)] + side²
= 4(1/2)(28)(31.3) + 784
= 2537 sq in² Not in the solution set
