Total surface area of pyramid is equal to

  • A.total area of all faces
  • B.total area of base
  • C.length of slant edge
  • D.none of above

Answer: A

The total surface area of any solid is the sum of the areas of every exposed face.

For a pyramid that means the base plus all the triangular lateral faces:

\[ \text{TSA} = \text{base area} + \text{lateral surface area} \]

The base area alone is only one part of it, and the slant edge is a length, not an area - a total surface area must have units of length squared.
