Answer:

125 meters squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of initial pyramid:

  • A= 10²+4*1/2*10*15= 400 m²

Surface area of extended pyramid:

  • A= 10*15+2*1/2*15*15+2*1/2*10*15= 525 m²

The difference is:

  • 525- 400= 125 m²

Answer:

First pyramid is = 400 meters squared

A= 10²+4*1/2*10*15= 400 m²

second pyramid = 675 meters squared

A= 10*15+2*1/2*15*15+2*1/2*10*15= 525 m²

Subtract the two =

525- 400= 125 m²
