ITS REALLY IMPORTANT can somebody please explain how to find the surface and lateral area please and thank you!!

The lateral area of the figure = 480 m²

The surface area = 720 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, we have;

The lateral area is the area of the vertically facing sides of or the area of the triangular faces of a pyramid

The surface area is the area of the entire surface = Lateral area + The other surface areas of the object

For a pyramid, the surface area =   Lateral area  + Area of base

The figure in the question is a pentagon based pyramid with five triangles on the sides

The lateral area of the figure = 5 × area of the 5 triangles = 5 × Base × Height

The lateral area of the figure = 5 × 12 × 8 = 480 m²

The lateral area of the figure = 480 m²

The surface area = Area of the base + Lateral surface area

Area of the regular pentagon base = 1/2 × Perimeter of the pentagon × Apothem

Perimeter of the pentagon = 5 × 12 = 60 m

Apothem = Perpendicular distance from the pentagon's side to the center = 8.3 m

∴ Area of the regular pentagon base = 1/2 × 60 × 8 = 240 m²

∴ The surface area = 240 +480 =720 m²

The surface area = 720 m²
