Q1)
the lateral area of the pyramid is the total area of all the lateral faces excluding the base.
In this regular octagonal pyramid, the lateral sides are triangles. As there are 8 triangles we need to find the area of all 8 sides.
Area of one lateral triangle face = 1/2 * base * slant height 
slant height is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle formed from the base of the pyramid with the perpendicular height.
slant height - l
l² = 7² + 7² = 49 *2
 l²  = 98 
l = √98
l = 9.9
Area = 1/2 * 5.8 cm * 9.9 cm 
         = 28.71 cm²
There are 8 sides 
total lateral area = 8 * 28.71 = 229.68 rounded off is 229.7 cm²
third option is correct - 229.7 cm²

Q2)
in the triangular face, the lateral edge makes a 60° angle with the base edge. Therefore 2 of the angles are 60° each, since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, the third angle too is 60°. this makes the triangle an equilateral triangle with equal angles, hence equal sides. 
since lateral edge is 8 cm,base edge too is 8 cm. 
since this is an equilateral triangle, the perpendicular line cuts the base edge at its midpoint, bisecting the line forming 2 right angled triangles.
in the right angled triangle, height of triangle is x slant height ,
base = 8 /2 = 4 cm
hypotenuse = 8 cm
We need to find x, use Pythogoras' theorem 
4² + x² = 8²
16 + x² = 64
x² = 62 - 16
x = √48
x = √4x√4x√3
  = 2x2√3
  = 4√3 cm

Q3)
surface area of the square pyramid 
surface area of the base + surface area of triangular faces 
square area = length x length 
                    = 6.2 x 6.2 
                    = 38.44 yd²
triangular face area = 1/2 * length * height 
since the angle between lateral edge and base edge is 60°, its an equilateral triangle where all sides are equal. in this case each side is 6.2 yd. 
to find the perpendicular height, use pythogoras' theorem
the perpendicular line(slant height ) cuts the base edge at its midpoint, therefore length of the right angled triangle is = 6.2/2 = 3.1 yd

slant height - l
l² + 3.1² = 6.2²
l² = 38.44 -9.61
l²  = 28.83 
l = 5.37
area = 1/2 *length *height 
        = 1/2 * 6.2 * 5.37
        = 16.64 yd²
there are 4 triangles = 4 * 16.64 = 66.58 yd²
total area = 38.44 + 66.58 = 105 yd²
correct answer is 3rd option - 105 yd²

  200 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Each face is an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of length 10 ft. The area of each of those triangles is

  A = 1/4·h² . . . . where the h in this formula is the hypotenuse length

So, the area of the four faces (the lateral area of the pyramid is 4 times this, or ...

  A = 4·1/4·(10 ft)² = 100 ft²

Of course, the base area is simply the area of the square base, the square of its side length:

  A = (10 ft)² = 100 ft²

So, the total area is the sum of the lateral area and the base area:

  total area = 100 ft² +100 ft² = 200 ft²

If you think about this for a little bit, you will realize the pyramid must have zero height. That is, the slant height of a face is exactly the same as the distance from the center of an edge to the center of the base. "Not drawn to scale" is a good description.
