6.4.3 Surface Area of Three Dimensional Shapes, PT3 Focus Practice


Question 6:
Diagram below shows a right pyramid with a square base.


Calculate the total surface area, in cm2, of the right pyramid.  

Solution
:

h2= 102 – 62
   = 100 – 36
   = 64
= √64
   = 8cm

Total surface area of the right pyramid
= (12 × 12) + 4 × (½× 12 × 8)
= 144 + 192
= 336 cm2


Question 7:
