Find the area $ A $ of a pyramid if side $a = 15.2$ and slant height $s = 25.3$.

$A = 1000.16$

STEP 1: find base area $ B $

To find base area $ B $ use formula:

$$ B = a^2 $$

After substituting $ a = 15.2 $ we have:

$$ B = 15.2^2 $$ $$ B = 231.04 $$

STEP 2: find lateral surface $ L $

To find lateral surface $ L $ use formula:

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

After substituting $ a = 15.2 $ and $ s = 25.3 $ we have:

$$ L = 30.4 \cdot 25.3 $$$$ L = 769.12 $$

STEP 3: find total surface $ A $

To find total surface $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = B + L $$

After substituting $ B = 231.04 $ and $ L = 769.12 $ we have:

$$ A = 231.04 + 769.12 $$ $$ A = 231.04 + 769.12 $$ $$ A = 1000.16 $$
