Find the area $ A $ of a pyramid if slant height $s = 15.3$ and base area $B = 64$.

$A = 308.8$

STEP 1: find side $ a $

To find side $ a $ use formula:

After substituting $ B = 64 $ we have:

$$ B = a^2 $$ $$ a^2 = 64 $$ $$ a = \sqrt{ 64 } $$ $$ a = 8 $$

STEP 2: find lateral surface $ L $

To find lateral surface $ L $ use formula:

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

After substituting $ a = 8 $ and $ s = 15.3 $ we have:

$$ L = 16 \cdot 15.3 $$$$ L = 244.8 $$

STEP 3: find total surface $ A $

To find total surface $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = B + L $$

After substituting $ B = 64 $ and $ L = 244.8 $ we have:

$$ A = 64 + 244.8 $$ $$ A = 64 + 244.8 $$ $$ A = 308.8 $$
