    The answer is 30 ft²

    The surface area (SA) of a pyramid is the sum of lateral area (LA) of the pyramid and the area of its base (BA):

    SA = LA + BA

    The area of the pyramid base (which is a square) with base edge a is:

    BA = a²

    We have:

    SA = 55 ft²

    LA = ?

    a = 5 ft

    LA = SA - BA = SA - a²

    LA = 55 - 5²

    LA = 55 - 25

    LA = 30 ft²
