A pyramid has a square base with sides 8" and a slant height of 5". Total Area = 144 square units 200 square units 224 square units

It's 144 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The pyramid has a square base with 8 sides and a slant height of 5

a=8

l=5

The total are of the square base pyramid is

A= +2al

a is side length of square and l is slant height

A= x 8 x 5

A=64+80

A=144

no, b does not equal 5 in that equation

Step-by-step explanation:

if you solve for x, this is how it would look:

65/b + 8 x 4 = 20

65/b + 32 = 20

65/b = 20 - 32

65/b = -12

65 = -12b

-12b = 65

b = -65/12 (or -5 5/12)
