Step-by-step explanation:

base = 784 sq in²  28 in tall pyramid

each side of the square base = √784   also equals 28

using the Pythagorean theorem the length of each side of the pyramid from the base to the point is

(side/2)² + height² =( length of the pyramid face)²

(28/2)² + 28²  = 196 + 784  = 980 =  (face length)²

face length = √980    =  31.3

area of the pyramid = 4 sides × area of each face + the area of the base

    =   4×[(1/2)(base)(face length)] + side²

    =   4(1/2)(28)(31.3) + 784

    =   2537 sq in²     Not in the solution set
