I need to find the surface area of the square pyramid!
(I know I'm stupid lol)

L = 260 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

heighth = 12 cm

slant heights = 13 cm

side lengtha = 10 cm

lateral edge lengthe = 13.928388277184 cm

1/2 side lengthr = 5 cm

volumeV = 400 cm^3

lateral surface areaL = 260 cm^2

base surface areaB = 100 cm^2

total surface areaA = 360 cm^2

Genda: h = height

s = slant height

a = side length

e = lateral edge length

r = a/2

V = volume

L = lateral surface area

B = base surface area

A = total surface area

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
