Q:

If the dimensions of a square pyramid are measured in meters, then the surface area of the pyramid is measured in meters square meterscubic meters

Accepted Solution

A:
if the dimensions of the square pyramid are in meters, the surface area can be calculated as follows;
Surface area = area of square base + area of lateral faces 
                      = (side length of square )² + (1/2 * slant height* perimeter)
If we substitute the equations with the units of the dimensions 
area               = (meters)² + (1/2* meters * meters)
                      = m² + m²
total area       = m²
therefore the area is obtained in square meters (m²)
