Find the lateral area of a regular pentagonal pyramid that has a slant height of 16 in. and a base side of 8 in.?

Please Answer ASAP!!! Can you please show your work.

Respuesta :

Pentagon=5, there will be 5 triangles and one base. area of triangle=1/2bh
1/2(8)(16)*5=320. 320 is the area of all of the triangles on the side. Since we are looking for lateral area, we need not include the base. So, the lateral area is 320 square inches.
