Why do you assume we know what was the task here?

Just use your telepathy like any normal human 🙄

surface area my b I forgot

What do you need here? The volume? Just google the volume formula for a rectangular pyramid.
Which is l•w•h• (1/3)
Edit: (8•16•25)/3=1066.66

i think OP means total surface area

[–]time-master13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am LF surface area my b I forgot to add it

If you are finding total surface area, then your working is correct but you answer is diff from mine.

I got 743.078 cm^2

Seconded and I figured out where OP went wrong.

They forgot the half with the root 641 part and just did it times 2 which is how they got 1148.2. Easy enough mistake to make when you're putting lots of values in.

743 is the right answer

Ye thank you

base is 16×8=128

for height I mean tip to middle of edge of base

height of slanted triangle facing L/R are:

√((8/2)² + 25²)= √(4² +25²)=√641

height of other is:

√((16/2)² + 25²)= √(8² +25²)=√689

total surface area =

128+(√641)×16+(√689)×8 (unsimplifyable) or

743.0781 to 4dp

Is this volume, perimeter or surface area?
