Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular pyramid is:

Surface Area = lw + 1/2(2lw + 2lh + wh)

Substitute the given measurements:
Surface Area = (8 x 4) + 1/2(2(8)(4) + 2(8)(2) + (4)(2))
Surface Area = 32 + 1/2(64 + 32 + 8)
Surface Area = 32 + 1/2(104)
Surface Area = 32 + 52
Surface Area = 84 square yards

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is 84 square yards.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:

Surface Area = lw + 1/2(2lw + 2lh + wh)
Surface Area = (8 x 4) + 1/2(2(8)(4) + 2(8)(2) + (4)(2))
Surface Area = 32 + 1/2(64 + 32 + 8)
Surface Area = 32 + 1/2(104)
Surface Area = 32 + 52
Surface Area = 84 square yards

The corrected surface area of the rectangular pyramid is indeed 84 square yards.
