Suppose that the lateral faces of the pyramid below have 
AABE = 11 in2, ABCE = 15 in2, ACDE = 11 in2, and ADAE = 9 in2.
A solid slanted to the left has vertices labeled ABCD and E.
  • Vertex E is located above and to the left of vertices ABC, and D.
  • A segment extends from the top vertex, E, to each of the other vertices: ABC, and D.
  • A square is formed by vertices ABC, and D.
If each side of the square base measures 4 in., find the total surface area (in square inches) of the pyramid.
