the net will show a rectangle and four triangles.
Just add up the areas of those five figures.

To find the surface area of a square pyramid, we need to know the measurements of its base and its slant height.
The surface area of a pyramid is the sum of the areas of its faces. A square pyramid has a square base and four triangular faces.
To get started, let's determine the area of the base. The base of a square pyramid is a square, so the area can be found by squaring the length of one side.
After finding the area of the base, we need to calculate the area of each triangular face. To do this, we need to find the area of one triangle and then multiply it by four since there are four triangles in a square pyramid.
To find the area of one triangular face, we use the formula:
Area of a triangle = (1/2) * base * height
In this case, the base of each triangle is the side length of the base of the pyramid, and the height is the slant height of the pyramid.
Once we have the areas of the base and all the triangular faces, we add them together to get the total surface area.
Remember, it's important to have the measurements of the base and the slant height to accurately calculate the surface area.
