to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to
