Find the area $ A $ of a pyramid if side $a = 19$ and slant height $s = 22.5$.

$A = 1216$

STEP 1: find base area $ B $

To find base area $ B $ use formula:

$$ B = a^2 $$

After substituting $ a = 19 $ we have:

$$ B = 19^2 $$ $$ B = 361 $$

STEP 2: find lateral surface $ L $

To find lateral surface $ L $ use formula:

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

After substituting $ a = 19 $ and $ s = 22.5 $ we have:

$$ L = 38 \cdot 22.5 $$$$ L = 855 $$

STEP 3: find total surface $ A $

To find total surface $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = B + L $$

After substituting $ B = 361 $ and $ L = 855 $ we have:

$$ A = 361 + 855 $$ $$ A = 361 + 855 $$ $$ A = 1216 $$
