Find the surface area of a rectangular pyramid with these measurements: l equals 13 cm, w equals 11 cm, and h equals 8 cm. Express your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.
The surface area of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula:
\(SA = lw + lh + wh\)
Substituting in the given values, we have:
\(SA = 13 \cdot 11 + 13 \cdot 8 + 11 \cdot 8\)
\(SA = 143 + 104 + 88\)
\(SA = 335\)
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 335 square centimeters.
Express the answer in decimal form
335 square centimeters rounded to the nearest hundredth is 335.00
Wrong, try again
I apologize for the error. Let's calculate it again.
\(SA = lw + lh + wh\)
Substituting in the given values, we have:
\(SA = 13 \cdot 11 + 13 \cdot 8 + 11 \cdot 8\)
\(SA = 143 + 104 + 88\)
\(SA = 335\)
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 335.00 square centimeters.
Find a different answer
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's calculate it once again.
The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular pyramid is:
\(SA = lw + lh + wh\)
Substituting the given values, we have:
\(SA = 13 \cdot 11 + 13 \cdot 8 + 11 \cdot 8\)
\(SA = 143 + 104 + 88\)
\(SA = 335\)
The correct surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 335 square centimeters. I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous incorrect statement about rounding to the nearest hundredth.
