Two triangular faces of a rectangular pyramid each have an area of 7.8 cm2 and the other two faces each have an area of 16.5 cm2. If the area of the base is 60 cm2, what is the total surface area of the pyramid? 84.3 cm2 108.6 cm2 157.2 cm2 168.6 cm2

Okay! So to start this problem, we need to look at the given information a little closer to make sure we have everything we need! This is a triangular pyramid, meaning that it has a total of 4 sides, which are all congruent triangles, meaning they all have the same surface area! We are also given the total surface area, which is 2304 cm^2.

If we need to find out how big one of the sides are, we should just have to divide the total surface area by 4, because there are 4 sides with the same surface area! 2304/4 = 576 cm^2, so your answer should be A) 576 cm2!
