What is the surface area of a square pyramid with a length of 5cm and a slant height of 8 cm?

Answer:105

Step-by-step explanation:The surface area of a square pyramid = 1/2 * slant height * base perimeter + area of base

The slant height is 8 cm

The base perimeter is 4 * 5 cm = 20 cm

The area of the base is 5 cm * 5 cm = 25 cm**2

Plugging into the formula the area =

1/2 * 8 cm * 20 cm + 25 cm**2 =

4 cm * 20 cm + 25 cm**2 =

80 cm**2 + 25 cm**2 = 105 cm**2
