If you assume that the all the sides are the same length l you can break it into two sections.
the first, is the base which is a square which is Area = l.l
the second is the equilateral triangle of side l, Area = l.l.sqrt(3)/4
So you have 4 triangles one square giving total surface area:
l.l x (1 + sqrt(3) )
The formula for a square pyramid is one square attached to four triangles which meet at a point.There are other formulae for the surface area or for the volume.
The surface area ( A ) of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula: [ A = B + \frac{1}{2} P l ] where ( B ) is the area of the base (which is ( s^2 ) for a square base of side length ( s )), ( P ) is the perimeter of the base (which is ( 4s )), and ( l ) is the slant height of the pyramid. Therefore, the complete formula can be expressed as: [ A = s^2 + 2sl ] This accounts for both the base area and the area of the four triangular faces.
Formula for finding the surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2 in square units. Formula for finding the volume of a sphere = 4/3*pi*radius3 in cubic units. Or did you mean the formula for finding the area of a square? in which case it is Length*Height in square units.
This is a popular topic, discussed in many places on the web. The attached link is one place that I like. If you want to look for others just google for surface area square pyramid.
A square pyramid has.
Total surface area in square units = (pi*radius*slant length)+(pi*radius squared)
Multiply the width by the length. e.g. you have a square that is 6 by 6 cm. 6x6 is 36, so the answer is 36cm squared.

It depends on the dimensions of the base and the height (slant or vertical) of the pyramid.
Call the length of the base s and the slant height of one triangle l SA = s2 + 2sl
what is the formula for finding a 3 dimensional square
A pyramid with these measurements are technically impossible to construct. However if you follow the formula the surface area would be a negative amount.
