Answer:

39 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is a square, so the area is 3 x 3 = 9.

Each side is a triangle, and the formula for that is (1/2)(base)(height)

The base of each side is 3 and the height of each is 5. There are 4 of those, so it's 4 x (1/2)(3)(5) = (2)(3)(5) = 30

Add the base and sides

30 + 9 = 39

Answer:

39 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area = A + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ps

A = area of the base

p = perimeter of the base

s = slant height

the base of the pyramid is a square, all sides and angles are equal

; 3 yards

; area of a square  = l x w

; area of the base = 9 yd (A)

perimeter of the base ; 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 yd (p)

slant height = 5 yd (s)

; sub it into the formula

surface area  = 9 + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 12 x 5

surface area = 39 yd
