∙ 12y ago
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))

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
How do you solve the Surface area of a regular pyramid?
There is no "regular pyramid". There are triangle pyramids, square pyramids, pentagon pyramids, etc. With the information given in your question, there is no way to answer.
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.
How many lateral surfaces are there in a square pyramid?
A square based pyramid has 5 faces, 8 edges and 5 vertices
What figure has four triangular lateral faces and a square base?
A pyramid
Can a regular square pyramid have base 12 and lateral edge 29?
Yes.
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
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.
How many lateral faces does a square pyramid have?
Lateral faces are the number of faces excluding the base. Since the square is the base, the other 4 sides will each be touching a lateral face to form a square pyramid (or it wont be a pyramid). So, there are 4.

What is the definition of a regular pyramid?
A regular pyramid is a right pyramid whose base is a regular polygon. There are only three regular pyramids: a regular tetrahedron, a regular square pyramid, and a regular pentagonal pyramid.
