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​​
