What is the mathematical formula for calculating the surface area of a truncated pyramid?

To calculate the surface area of a truncated pyramid, you first take the surface area of each side. That would be the base time the straight height. If it is a 4 side pyramid with equivelant sides, multiply that answer by 4.

Mathematical formula for volume of a truncated circler pyramid?
V=h/3 (axa + axb + bxb)
What is the formula of the rectangle based pyramid?
A "formula" is some mathematical rule for calculating something you wish to know. So "the formula of the rectangle-base pyramid" will be some expression which tells you something that you want to know about it. Beyond that there is no way anyone can tell you, since you do not say what feature of the pyramid you are thinking about (height, volume, surface area, weight...).
using egyptian geometry, how the volume of a truncated pyramid is solve explain?
The formula for the volume of a truncated square pyramid with height h, and top edge a cm and bottom edge b cm is V = 1/3*(a2 + ab + b2)*h.
How many faces edges and vertices does a truncated pyramid have?
A truncated pyramid has: faces = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base + 2 vertices = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 2 edges = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 3
Why is a truncated octahedron called a truncated octahedron?
Start with an octahedron in the form of a quadrilateral based dipyramid a regular octahedron is a special case of this). This shape has six vertices - chop these off so as to remove a quadrilateral based pyramid. You will be left with a truncated octahedron. It is an octahedron which has been truncated (shortened) by cutting off its extremities.

What is a truncated pyramid?
It is a pyramid with a flat base on top.

Are frusta and truncated pyramids the same?
Not exactly. A frustum would be a pyramid with the apex cut off. A truncated pyramid would be a pyramid with all vertices cut off.
What is the name of a 3D trapezoid?
Truncated pyramid.
Does a truncated square pyramid have perpendicular faces?
It can be.
What is a tomb that resembles a truncated pyramid called?
it is a mastaba
How many faces edges and vertices does a truncated pyramid have?
A truncated pyramid has: faces = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base + 2 vertices = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 2 edges = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 3
What is a flattened pyramid?
It is the net of its solid shape. If the top of the pyramid is cut off parallel to the base, then it is a truncated pyramid, or a frustum.
Why does a square truncated pyramid support more weight than a penagon pyramid?
Assuming that you mean pentagon, not pentagon, the answer is simply that a truncated pyramid has a flat top which can support weight easily whereas a pentagon pyramid would require a very fine balancing act.
