Which part of the regular pyramid formula is for the pyramids lateral area?
KayVyonnaHollingshed...
The answer to this question depends on what sort of pyramid it is, and that depends on the shape of the base. You can get triangular pyramids (with a triangular base), square pyramids (like those in Egypt), pentagonal pyramids and so on.
Let me take just one -- the square pyramid. Let the length of the base sides be 'a' units. Let 'h' units be the perpendicular height (i.e. at right angles to the base and going through the peak of the pyramid) of each side.
I gather by lateral area that you mean surface area including the base.
I use the symbol * to mean x or multiply.
Then the formula for working out the surface area is a*a for the base PLUS each triangular face is 1/2*a*h
There are 4 triangular sides so the surface area is
(a*a) + 4*(1/2*a*h)
If you just want the 4 sides, leave out a*a.

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.
When p is the perimeter of the base and s the slant height of a regular pyramid What is a valid formula for the lateral area?
LA=1/2ps
Let p be the perimeter of the base and s the slant height of a regular pyramid What is a valid formula for the lateral area?
LA=1/2ps
In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?
False
What is the shape of one lateral face of a frustum of a regular pyramid?
An isosceles trapezium.

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.

Is an pyramid an irregular or regular polyhedron?
There are regular and irregular pyramids. The famous ones at Gizeh are regular, but just because it's a pyramid, it doesn't necessarily have to be regular.
In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?
False
How do you enter a step pyramid?
Step Pyramids have an opening or entrance gate just like regular pyramids.
Can a regular square pyramid have base 12 and lateral edge 29?
Yes.
What is the shape of one lateral face of a frustum of a regular pyramid?
An isosceles trapezium.
Find the volume and lateral surface area of a frustum of a regular pyramid whose altitude is 30cm and whose base edges are 10cm and 20cm respectively?
first tell me the formula
What is the formula for the volume of a regular pyramid?
The volume of a regular pyramid is 1/3*area of the base*hight
