Answer: [tex]560m^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First begin by finding the surface area of the base, which is simply length * width. In this case,
[tex]14*14 = 196 m^2[/tex]
Next, find the surface area of one of the sides of the pyramid. This formula for this is:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*base*height[/tex]
Since we know the height to be 13 meters and the base to be 14 meters, we can solve for one side.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}*14*13 = 91 m^2[/tex]
We multiply this by 4 to give us all 4 sides of the pyramid:
[tex]91m^2 * 4 = 364m^2[/tex]
Adding together the surface area of the sides and the base gives us:
[tex]196m^2 + 364m^2=560m^2[/tex]
