Find the area $ A $ of a pyramid if side $a = 10$ and slant height $s = 10$.

$A = 300$

STEP 1: find base area $ B $

To find base area $ B $ use formula:

$$ B = a^2 $$

After substituting $ a = 10 $ we have:

$$ B = 10^2 $$ $$ B = 100 $$

STEP 2: find lateral surface $ L $

To find lateral surface $ L $ use formula:

$$ L = 2 \cdot a \cdot s $$

After substituting $ a = 10 $ and $ s = 10 $ we have:

$$ L = 20 \cdot 10 $$$$ L = 200 $$

STEP 3: find total surface $ A $

To find total surface $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = B + L $$

After substituting $ B = 100 $ and $ L = 200 $ we have:

$$ A = 100 + 200 $$ $$ A = 100 + 200 $$ $$ A = 300 $$
