find the surface area (s.a.) of a square pyramid whose base edge is 6 cm and whose slant height is 5 cm.
surface areas of pyramids and cones

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base area

Base is square: $6×6 = 36$ cm²

Step2: Calculate lateral area

4 congruent triangles: $4×(\frac{1}{2}×6×5) = 60$ cm²

Step3: Sum for surface area

$36 + 60 = 96$ cm²

Answer:

96 cm²
