What would be the formula for the lateral area of a regular pyramid where the base is a square with perimeter p and s is the slant height?
LA = 1/2psnewtest3
What is the difference between total surface area and lateral surface area?
total surface area is all of the area. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the square on the bottom and the four triangle sides lateral surface area is all the surface area EXCEPT the base. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the four sides of the pyramid. the bottom square is NOT included. for a triangular prism it would be the area of the three rectangle sides, NOT the two triangular sides
Find the volume and lateral surface area of a frustum of a regular pyramid whose altitude is 30cm and whose base edges are 10cm and 20cm respectively?
first tell me the formula
Consider a regular pyramid where p is the perimeter of the base s is the slant height BA is the base area and LA is the lateral area What is a valid formula for the surface area?
SA=BA+LA SA=BA+1/2ps
What is the lateral area of a cube?
find the area of a base and then multiply by six. Then you square it. or 6 x ba (2)=lateral area
What would be the formula for the lateral area of a regular pyramid where the base is a square with perimeter p and s is the slant height?
LA = 1/2psnewtest3
In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?
False
What is the lateral area and surface area of a regular square pyramid?
Lateral area: Twice the side of the square times the slant height. Surface area: The side of the square squared plus twice the side of the square times the slant height. a=side of square b=slant height L.A.=2(ab) S.A.=(a)(a)+(2(ab))
What is the surface area of a regular triangular pyramid with the lateral surface area of 72cm?
It is 288 cm^2.
How do you find lateral area of a square pyramid?
You need some information about the height of the pyramid and the formula will depend on whether you have the vertical height or the slant height or the length of a lateral edge.

What is the surface area of a square pyramid?
It is the lateral area (which is 1/2 the perimeter multiplied by the slant height), plus the area of the base.
A tea bag is shaped like a regular square pyramid Each leg of the base is 4 cm and the slant height is 5 cm What are the lateral area and surface area of the tea bag?
40cm^3
What is the lateral area of the Great pyramid?
The lateral area is 924,243 sq. ft.
What is the lateral area of a square pyramid with side length 11.2 cm and slant height 20 cm?
It is 448 square cm.
What is the lateral surface area of this square pyramid that has a base length of 4 centimeters and a slant height of 9 centimeters?
72 cm square.
Can the area of the base of a regular pyramid be greater than the lateral area?
I doubt it because no matter how big the base is, if you laid the triangles in to the position of the base (ex 4 triangles to a square base) they would have a larger area than the base shape
