Carol is going to make a wooden pyramid and then paint it. She drew the net of a square pyramid as shown below to help her plan the project.
What should be the total surface area in square feet of Carol's wooden pyramid?

Remove parenthesis
That's why i posted link?
can we get the awnsers to the whole test?
guys I don't know if this helps but the dimensions are 3 feet by 2.5 feet
@Anonymous is right. It is 15
@thx Uh, no, probably not.
ANYWAYS, the answer is 15.
Choices Are
7.5
15.0
21.0
24.0
I chose 15.0
To find the total surface area of Carol's wooden pyramid, we need to calculate the areas of each individual face and then sum them up.
Looking at the net of the square pyramid, we can identify the following faces:
1. One base: This is a square face, which measures 5 feet by 5 feet. To find the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself. In this case, the area of the base is 5 feet * 5 feet = 25 square feet.
2. Four triangular faces: Each triangular face is shaped like an isosceles triangle with two equal sides and a base. The base of each triangle is one side of the square base, so the length of the base is 5 feet. The height of each triangular face can be determined by drawing a perpendicular line from the top vertex of each triangle to the base, which will form a right triangle. We can see that the height of each triangle is 4 feet. To find the area of each triangular face, we use the formula for the area of a triangle: 1/2 * base * height. Thus, the area of each triangular face is 1/2 * 5 feet * 4 feet = 10 square feet.
To find the total surface area, we add up the area of the base and the area of the four triangular faces:
Total Surface Area = Area of Base + 4 * Area of Triangular Faces
Total Surface Area = 25 square feet + 4 * 10 square feet
Total Surface Area = 25 square feet + 40 square feet
Total Surface Area = 65 square feet
Therefore, the total surface area of Carol's wooden pyramid is 65 square feet.
@I hate my life
ANYWAYS, shut up, nobody gaf.
