Question

    Find the lateral surface area of a pyramid with a

    rectangular base measuring 12 meters by 8 meters and a slant height of 18 meters.
    A 360 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 332 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 296 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 274 sq m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Area of pyramid = (1/2) X P X L, where 'P' is the perimeter of base and 'L' is the slant height

    Therefore, required area = (1/2) X 2 X (12 + 8) X 18 = 360 m 2
