    Question

    If base perimeter = 40 cm, slant height = 10 cm, what is lateral surface area of square pyramid?

    A.

    260 cm²

    B.

    200 cm²

    C.

    400 cm²

    D.

    432 cm²

    Correct option is B

    Given :

    Base perimeter of square pyramid = 40 cm
    Slant height = 10 cm

    Formula Used :
    Lateral surface area (LSA) of a pyramid
    LSA=12×(Perimeter of base)×(Slant height)\text{LSA} = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{Perimeter of base}) \times (\text{Slant height})​​
    Solution :

    LSA=12×40×10 LSA=200 cm2\text{LSA} = \frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times 10 \\ \ \\\text{LSA} = 200 \text{ cm}^2​​
