What is the surface area of the rectangular pyramid?

13.6 in.)

13.6 in

4 in

10 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a rectangular pyramid is formed by one rectangle at the center, and four triangles attached to it.

In this case, the rectangle has dimensions of 10 inches (height) by 4 inches (length). 2 triangles have a base of 10 inches and a height of 5 inches. The other 2 triangles have a an area of 13.6 square inches.

Basically, we need to find the area of the other two triangles and the area of the rectangle at the center.

Now, we sum all areas

Therefore, the total surface area is 117.2 square inches.
