125 square inches
240 square inches
340 square inches

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. 340 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length translates to 1 side of the square, so you do 10 x 10 to find the area of the square.

10 x 10 = 100

The triangle one isn't much more difficult. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is bh1/2

So:

10 x 12 = 120/2=60

From there just multiply the result by 4- the amount of triangles on the square pyramid, and you'll get your answer.

60

x 4

240 + 100 = 340 square inches
