Answer: 245 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the Surface Area of a figure by adding up the areas of each shape.

First you have to find the area of the base.

7×7 = 49

Then you can find the area of the 4 triangles that complete the pyramid.

Formula for area of a triangle: [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] (one half of base times height)

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (14*7) = x\\\frac{1}{2} 98 = x\\x = 49[/tex]

Since all the triangles are the same, you only have to calculate that once.

Now you just add everything together, and that's your surface area.

[tex]49+49+49+49+49= 245[/tex]

Answer:  245

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to 7 for the square which = 14

then after that you do 1/2 b x h = 1/2  7 x 14= 3.5 x 14= 49 but then you have 4 triangles so 49 x 4=196.     Then  49 + 196= 245
