What is the surface area of the square pyramid represented by the net? enter your answer in the box. ft² an unfolded square base pyramid with sides of the base being three feet and the length from the base to the tip is five feet.

Start by finding the area of the base.

A = lw
A = 3 x 3
A = 9 square feet.

Sides use the formula of a triangle: 1/2bh
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(3)(5)
A = 1/2(15)
A = 7.5

Next, there are 4 sides, so multiply the side area by 4.
7.5 * 4 = 30 square feet.

Lastly add all surface areas together:
30 + 9 = 39 square feet.
