Question

How do you find the surface area of a pyramid

Answer 1

We can find the surface area of any pyramid by adding up the areas of its lateral faces and its base.

Surface area of any pyramid = area of base + area of each of the lateral faces

Example:A=lw+l(w2)2+h2+w(l2)2+h2=3·2+3·(2

2)2+82+2·(3

2)2+82≈46.46559
