The surface area of the pyramid is 192 square cm. The correct option is D.
What is a square pyramid?
A square pyramid in geometry is a pyramid with a square base. A right square pyramid is one where that is directly above the square's center.
The area of the square pyramid is calculated by calculating the area of the square base and then calculating the area of all the four triangles and adding all the areas to get the surface area of the pyramid.
Given that the length of the square is 8 cm and the height of the triangle is also 8 cm. First, calculate the area of the square.
Area of square base = 8 x 8 = 64 square cm
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 8 = 32 square cm
Area of all four triangles = 32 x 4 = 128
Total surface area of the pyramid = 128+64 = 192 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the pyramid is 192 square cm. The correct option is D.
