If you have a regular square pyramid whose base edges are 10cm and the other edges are 12 cm long how do you calculate area?
If you break it up into faces you have one square and 4 identical triangles. The square has an area if 10 x 10 = 100
Using the triangle formula if 0.5 x base x height we get 0.5 x 10 x 12 = 60
so the total area is 60 x 4 + 100 = 340cm squared
Improved Answer:-
The pyramid has a square base and four isosceles triangles so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the height of each triangle from its vertex perpendicular to its base:
122-52 = 119 and the square root of this equals the height
Total area = (4*1/2*base *height)+base2
Area = (4*1/2*10*the square root of 119)+102
Area = 318.17424243 square cm

How many curved edges a square pyramid has?
A square pyramid does not have any curved edges; it has a total of eight edges. This includes four edges at the base, which form a square, and four triangular edges that connect the apex of the pyramid to each vertex of the base.
Are the edges of a square pyramid parallel?
The base of a square pyramid is a square and its edges are parallel. The sides are not parallel since they intersect at the apex.

Does a pyramid have eight edges?
Depends on the pyramid. A pyramid with a square (or quadrilateral) base would indeed have 8 edges, but a pyramid can have any other polygon as a base.Depends on the pyramid.
