    Step-by-step explanation:

    The square base measures 8 inches by 8 inches. The slant height is 10 inches.

    The formula for determining the area of the square base of the pyramid is l^2. Therefore,

    Area of the base = 8^2 = 64 inches^2

    The formula for determining the perimeter of the square base is

    4l. It becomes

    4 * 8 = 32 inches

    The amount of construction paper needed to make this pyramid is the total surface area of the pyramid. Therefore,

    Total surface area = (1/2 * 32 * 10) + 64

    = 160 + 64 = 224 inches^2
