Answer :
we have:
h each equilateral triangle = 7.79 ft
b each equilateral triangle = 9 ft
then area each equilateral trianle is:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(9)(7.79)=\frac{1}{2}(70.11)=35.055[/tex]and the pyramid have 4 equilateral triangles, therofore the surface area of the pyramid is:
[tex]A=4(35.055)=140.22[/tex]answer: 140.22 ft2
