To solve for the surface area of a square pyramid, you would need to find the area of the base and the area of the four triangular faces.
Let's say the side length of the base of the square pyramid is 10 feet and the slant height of the triangular face is 12 feet.
1. Find the area of the base:
Area of a square = side length^2
Area of the base = 10^2 = 100 ft^2
2. Find the area of each triangular face:
Area of a triangle = (1/2) * base * height
Area of a triangular face = (1/2) * 10 * 12 = 60 ft^2
3. Find the total surface area:
Total surface area = base area + 4* triangular face area
Total surface area = 100 + 4*60 = 340 ft^2
Since none of the provided responses match 340 ft^2, please double check the given measurements or provide additional information to accurately calculate the surface area of the square pyramid.
