Find a surface area of a rectangular pyramid with these measurements length equals 8 yards, equals 4 yards, and high equals 2 yards. One point.
To find the surface area of a rectangular pyramid, we need to find the area of each face and add them together.
The rectangular pyramid has four triangular faces and one rectangular base.
The area of each triangular face can be calculated using the formula A = (1/2) * base * height, where the base is the length of the rectangle (8 yards) and the height is the height of the pyramid (2 yards). Therefore, the area of each triangular face is (1/2) * 8 yards * 2 yards = 8 square yards.
The area of the rectangular base can be calculated using the formula A = length * width, where the length is 8 yards and the width is 4 yards. Therefore, the area of the rectangular base is 8 yards * 4 yards = 32 square yards.
To find the total surface area, we add the area of each face: 4 triangular faces (8 square yards each) + 1 rectangular base (32 square yards) = 4 * 8 square yards + 32 square yards = 64 square yards + 32 square yards = 96 square yards.
Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 96 square yards.
