Bot GPT 3.5 The surface area of a rectangular pyramid can be found by adding the area of the base to the area of the four triangular faces.
The area of the base is equal to the length times the width:
Area of base = l * w = 8 cm * 4 cm = 32 cm^2
The area of each triangular face is equal to half the product of the base length and the height of the pyramid.
Area of each triangular face = (1/2) * l * h = (1/2) * 8 cm * 2 cm = 8 cm^2
Since there are four triangular faces, the total area of the triangular faces is 4 times the area of one triangular face:
Total area of the triangular faces = 4 * 8 cm^2 = 32 cm^2
Therefore, the total surface area of the pyramid is the sum of the area of the base and the area of the four triangular faces:
Total surface area = Area of base + Total area of the triangular faces
Total surface area = 32 cm^2 + 32 cm^2 = 64 cm^2
So, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 64 cm^2.
