What is the total surface area of this rectangular pyramid?

square meters

The total surface area = 10956 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The pyramid is rectangular pyramid

∴ It has a rectangular base with dimensions of 50 m and 78 m

∴ It has four faces each two opposite are congruent

* to find the total surface area, we will find the area of

  each face and add them together

- Area base = L × W

∴  Area base = 50 × 78 = 3900 m² ⇒ (1)

- Area of triangular face of dimensions:

 base = 50 m and height = 60 m

∵ Area triangle = 1/2 × base × height

∴ Area triangle = 1/2 × 50 × 60 = 1500 m²

∵ We have another triangle congruent to this triangle (opposite faces)

∴ Area of the two congruent faces = 1500 × 2 = 3000 m² ⇒ (2)

- Area of triangular face of dimensions:

 base = 78 m and height = 52 m

∵ Area triangle = 1/2 × base × height

∴ Area triangle = 1/2 × 78 × 52 = 2028 m²

∵ We have another triangle congruent to this triangle (opposite faces)

∴ Area of the two congruent faces = 2028 × 2 = 4056 m² ⇒ (3)

∴ Add (1) , (2) and (3)

∴ The total surface area = 3900 + 3000 + 4056 = 10956 m²
