A square pyramid has a base with an area of 20 square meters, and its lateral faces have a slant height of x meters. Sydney is constructing a second square pyramid with the same size base, but the lateral faces of her pyramid have a slant height twice as long, 2 x Which statement best describes how the surface area of Sydney’s pyramid compares to the surface area of the original pyramid?

A
Sydney’s pyramid will have a surface area that is exactly double the original pyramid’s because the slant height is used when finding the area of every lateral face.
B
Sydney’s pyramid will have the same surface area because the 1 half in the expression for the area of the triangular faces will make up for the slant height being doubled.
C
Sydney’s pyramid will have the same surface area because the slant height is not used when finding surface area.
D
Sydney’s pyramid will have a surface area that is greater than the original pyramid’s but not double the area because the slant height is not used when finding the area of the base.
