Surface area of pyramids

Front

What is the formula for the surface area of a square pyramid?

Back

The surface area (SA) of a square pyramid is given by the formula: SA = B + 1/2 * P * l, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and l is the slant height.

Front

How do you calculate the area of the base of a square pyramid?

Back

The area of the base (B) of a square pyramid is calculated using the formula: B = side^2, where 'side' is the length of one side of the square base.

Front

What is the perimeter of the base of a square pyramid?

Back

The perimeter (P) of the base of a square pyramid is calculated using the formula: P = 4 * side, where 'side' is the length of one side of the square base.

Front

What is the slant height of a pyramid?

Back

The slant height (l) of a pyramid is the distance from the apex (top point) of the pyramid to the midpoint of one of the sides of the base.

How do you find the surface area of a triangular pyramid?

Back

The surface area (SA) of a triangular pyramid is calculated using the formula: SA = B + 1/2 * P * l, where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and l is the slant height.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Back

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated using the formula: A = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

What is the relationship between the base area and the total surface area of a pyramid?

Back

The total surface area of a pyramid includes the area of the base plus the area of the triangular faces.

Front

How do you calculate the lateral surface area of a pyramid?

Back

The lateral surface area of a pyramid is calculated by summing the areas of all the triangular faces.

Front

What is the significance of the slant height in calculating the surface area of a pyramid?

Back

The slant height is crucial for calculating the area of the triangular faces of the pyramid, which contributes to the total surface area.

What is a net of a pyramid?

Back

A net of a pyramid is a two-dimensional representation that shows all the faces of the pyramid laid out flat.
