Answer:
FOR REGULAR PYRAMID with those dimension.
L.A = 96
FOR HEXAGONAL PYRAMID with those dimension
L.A = 171.71
Explanation:
Please the question asked for L.A of a REGULAR PYRAMID, but the figure is a HEXAGON PYRAMID.
Hence I solved for both:
FOR REGULAR PYRAMID
Lateral Area (L.A) = 1/2* p * l
Where p = Perimeter of base
P = 4s
P = 4 * 6
P = 24cm
l = slanted height
l = 8cm
L.A = 1/2 * 24 * 8
L.A = 1/2 ( 192)
L.A = 96cm ^ 2
FOR AN HEXAGONAL PYRAMID
Lateral Area = 3a √ h^2 + (3a^2) / 4
Where:
a = Base Edge = 6
h = Height = 8
L.A = 3*6 √ 8^2 + ( 3*6^2) / 4
L.A = 18 √ 64 + ( 3 * 36) / 4
L.A = 18 √ 64 + 108/4
L.A = 18 √ 64+27
L.A = 18 √ 91
L.A = 18 * 9.539
L.A = 171.71
