The formula for finding the lateral area of any square base pyramid is:
[tex] A=a\sqrt{a^2+4h^2} [/tex]
Where "a" is the base edge or the edge of the square and "h" is the height of the pyramid.
In our case, "a"=8 meters and "h"=22 meters
[tex] \therefore A=8\sqrt{8^2+4(22)^2} \approx357.77 [/tex] squared meters
Thus, the lateral area of the given square pyramid is 357.77 squared meters.
