Use the net to find the surface area of the regular pyramid.

40 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four triangles for each side of the pyramid, and the height is three inches. The area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2, so each triangle is 6 in².

4(base) x 3(height) ÷ 2 = 6

Multiply 6 by 4 because there are four triangles, which is 24.

Once you have that, the only surface left is the bottom of the pyramid. You can find this by multiplying 4 by 4, since it's a square.

4 x 4 = 16

If you add 16 and 24 together, that's your answer.

40
