If the area of a pentagonal pyramid has a 440.4 mm² base area, 16 mm. pentagon side
length, and 20 mm. slant height, then determine the surface area of the pyramid.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]SA=1,204.4\ mm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a pentagonal pyramid is given by the formula

[tex]SA=B+LA[/tex]

where

B is the area of the pentagonal base

LA is the area of  its five congruent lateral triangles

we have

[tex]B=440.4\ mm^2[/tex]

[tex]LA=5[\frac{1}{2}(16)(20)]=800\ mm^2[/tex]

so

[tex]SA=404.4+800=1,204.4\ mm^2[/tex]
