What is the surface area of a triangulsr pyramid?
If its a triangular based pyramid (tetrahedron) then it will have 4 equilateral triangle faces and so find the area of one face and multiply it by 4 to give the total surface area.
Is the total area of the lateral faces of a pyramid greater than the area of the base?
Yes, it must be.
How do you find the surface area of a triangle pyramid?
Find the surface area of each of the four triangular faces (they need not be the same) and sum the individual areas.
How do you get the surface area of a square pyramid?
It is: base area+(4*triangle areas)
What is the surface area of this triangular pyramid?
It is the sum of the areas of its four faces.
How do you calculate the faces of a triangular pyramid?
By doing the area for a triangle :)

How do you find the total surface rea of a trianguar pyramid?
Find the area of one of the sides and then multiply it by 3 (3 sides to a triangular pyramid)Then work out the area of the base of the pyramid, and add it to the total area of all the sides.Area of a triangle = Base x Height / 2
How do you work out the surface area for a triangular prism?
To work out the area of the rectangular faces, you need to multiply the length by the width. You then need to multiply that answer by 3 (because there are 3 rectangular faces).To work out the area of the triangular faces, multiply the base of the triangle by the height and divide the answer by 2 (to find the area of one triangle). You then need to multiply it by 2 again because there are 2 triangular faces.Important: The height of a triangle is the distance from the top corner of the triangle down to the base (so that it meets the base at 90 degrees)You then need to add the total surface area of the rectangular faces to the surface area of the triangular faces to get the total surface area of the entire prism.(sorry for the essay :])
How do you find the area of a triangular prism?
You find the area of the base and then find the area of one triangle. Multiply that one triangle by 4 and then add the base. The above is correct for a triangular pyramid NOT a triangilar prism. A triangular prism has two triangular ends and three rectangular faces. The rectangular faces need no be the same shape, but if they are, So Area = 2*area of triangular ends + 3*area of rectangular faces If not, you'll just have to calculate each area separately and add them.
How do you get the surface area of a square pyramid?
It is: base area+(4*triangle areas)
How do you find the area of one face when the total surface area is 96 cm?
Divide by the number of faces. For example, divide by 6 if it is a cube. Divide by 4 if it is a triangular pyramid.
What is the surface area of this triangular pyramid?
It is the sum of the areas of its four faces.
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
If a square pyramid has a base of 6.3 meters and a height of 4 meters what is the surface area?
To find the height of the triangles on the sides of the pyramid, we use pythagorean theorem. We slice vertically through the center of the pyramid to find a triangle with base of 6.3 and height of 4. Using the pythagorean theorem, we can find that each side of this triangle will be sqrt(42+3.152). This will be the height of the triangles on the sides of the pyramid, let's call it h.So, the area of each triangle will be 1/2*6.3*h. There are 4 of these triangles.The area of the base of the pyramid will be 6.32The total surface area of the pyramid will be SA = 2*6.3*sqrt(42+3.152)+6.32SA ~= 103.84 m2
