Hi Alexander. From your description, I'm going to assume the base is a square and the top of the pyramid is directly above the center of the square. Here's a rough sketch to help out:
Notice the right triangle MT2 = 0.32 + 1.02 However, just looking at triangle There are four congruent triangles like this, plus the area of the square base itself (assuming you want to include that). Add them up and you have the total surface area of the pyramid structure. Hope this helps, | ||||||||||||
