Martha’s house is shaped like a square pyramid with four congruent equilateral triangles for its faces. All of the edges are 60 feet long. If the faces of the house were flat, what would be the total surface area of the house including the floor? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Problem of the Day

Bases: the two parallel and congruent faces Bases: the two parallel and congruent faces. Lateral Faces: faces that are not bases. Lateral Edges: the lines in which lateral faces intersect. Base Edges: the sides of the bases. Altitude: a perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the bases. Height: the length of the altitude. Vocabulary
The lateral area L of a prism is the sum of the areas of the lateral faces. Vocabulary
