Answer:52 ft.
Step-by-step explanation: If the area of the base of the pyramid is
169
ft
2
then each side of the base is
13
ft
long because the base of the pyramid is a square.
Length of the side,
s
=
√
169
=
13
Iif we take the area of a square
A
=
s
2
where
s
=
13
we get the area of the base to be
169
ft
2
thus proving that each side of the base is
13
ft
long.
So to find the perimeter of the base of the pyramid we use the formula:
P
=
4
s
where
s
=
13
ft
and thus,
p
=
4
⋅
13
ft
=
52
ft
