Answer to Problem 41E

The surface area of pyramid 2 is greater than pyramid 1, but not by 3 times.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Two pyramids have congruent bases.

The slant height of the first pyramid is one-third of the slant height of the second pyramid.

Formula used:

Surface area of pyramid,

Let l=x , where l is slant lenght

where s is square base side

where B is the base area where P is perimeter of base

For pyramid 1:

Assuming pyramid is square, Base area B and perimeter P will be,
