Rectangular base pyramid

The pyramid has a rectangular base of 2.8 m and 1.4 m and a height of 2.5 meters. Calculate an area of the shell of the pyramid.

Correct answer:

S =  11.2807 m2

Step-by-step explanation:

h=2.5 m a=2.8 m b=1.4 m  h1=h2+(b/2)2=2.52+(1.4/2)22.5962 m h2=h2+(a/2)2=2.52+(2.8/2)22.8653 m  S1=2a h1=22.8 2.59623.6346 m2 S2=2b h2=21.4 2.86532.0057 m2  S=2 S1+2 S2=2 3.6346+2 2.0057=11.2807 m2
