\( \begin{array}{l}\text{What faces make up the net of a square-based pyramid?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Visualize or sketch the pyramid and its unfolded faces.

A square-based pyramid has a square base and four triangular faces meeting at the apex. Its net includes the square plus all four triangles, arranged around the base. Visualizing the pyramid and unfolding it helps to understand how the faces connect. This skill is important for calculating surface area, drawing nets, and solving spatial reasoning problems. Practice folding and labeling nets to reinforce learning and recognize patterns between 3D solids and their 2D representations.
