How do you find the surface area of a pyramid

The video tutorial covers the concept of surface area, focusing on prisms and pyramids. It explains the basic definition of a prism, introduces the concept of lateral area, and demonstrates how to design a net for a pyramid. The tutorial also provides a step-by-step guide to calculating the surface area of a figure, including the lateral surface area and the base area.

What is the basic definition of a prism?

• A shape with no sides

• A shape with only one base

• A shape with a base and top that are identical

• A shape with a circular base and a pointed top

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

• 1/2 times perimeter times slant height

• Perimeter times height

• Base plus height

• Base times height

What does the lateral surface area exclude?

• The sides

• The base

• The height

• The top

What is a net in geometry?

• A three-dimensional representation of a shape

• A method to calculate volume

• A two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shape

• A tool to measure angles

How do you find the total surface area of a figure?

• Subtract the base from the lateral surface area

• Divide the perimeter by the height

• Multiply the base by the height

• Add the lateral surface area to the area of the base
