Explanation:

Step 1: Set up the formula for the surface area of a regular pyramid.

SA =
(p*h)/(2) + B

where :

  • SA equals the total surface area of the pyramid,
  • p equals the perimeter of the base,
  • h equals the slant height of the pyramid
  • B equals the area of the base.

Step 2: Plug the perimeter of the base into the formula

you can calculate the perimeter by multiplying the length of one edge by the number of edges.

Step 3: plug the value of the slant height into the formula (it is not the perpendicular height)

Step 4: find the area of the base (depend on the shape of the base)

Hope it will find you well.
