Find the surface area of the square pyramid. round your answer to the nearest hundredth

175.415

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area of square pyramid is given by:

Area= s^2 + 2(s)(l)

where s is the base and l is the slant height

in given problem, slant height l is not given, so by using Pythagoras theorem finding l:

c^2= a^2 + b^2

     =  8^2 + 4^2

     = 48.49

c     = 6.96348

Now putting values of s=8 and l= 6.96 in first formula

Area= 8^2 + 2(8)(6.96)

      =  64 + 111.41

      = 175.415
