= 1/2 × Perimeter × [Side Length]
+ [Base Area]
= 0.5*(3*8)*4*sqrt(10)+0.5*8*4tan60o
= 158.72
(base area is 0.5*base length*perp ht, per ht is just 0.5*side*tan60o as triangel
is equilateral)

The surface area of the pyramid is superfluous to calculating the slant height as the slant height is the height of the triangular side of the pyramid which can be worked out using Pythagoras on the side lengths of the equilateral triangle: side² = height² + (½side)² → height² = side² - ¼side² → height² = (1 - ¼)side² → height² = ¾side² → height = (√3)/2 side → slant height = (√3)/2 × 9cm = 4.5 × √3 cm ≈ 7.8 cm. ---------------------------- However, the surface area can be used as a check: 140.4 cm² ÷ (½ × 9 cm × 7.8 cm) = 140.4 cm² ÷ 35.1 cm² = 4 So the pyramid comprises 4 equilateral triangles - one for the base and 3 for the sides; it is a tetrahedron.
It is 288 cm^2.
False, the prism can be of any length.
The first comprises one rectangular face and four triangular faces whereas the second has two triangular and three rectangular faces.
SA equals pi times the radius squared
Surface area of a triangular pyramid: SA = 1/2 as + 3/2 sl a = altitude of the base triangle s = side of the triangle l = slant height of the pyramid.
If its a triangular based pyramid (tetrahedron) then it will have 4 equilateral triangle faces and so find the area of one face and multiply it by 4 to give the total surface area.
To find the surface area of an equilateral triangular prism you take the area of the rectangular sides and the triangular bases and add them up and your done.
To calculate the surface area of the equilateral triangular-based prism, you need to calculate the area of the equilateral triangle and all the other sides of the prism. The total area of all the phases will give the total surface are of an equilateral triangular based prism.
a pyramid with a triangular base has 4 faces. a pyramid with a square base has 5 faces.
It is the sum of the areas of its four faces.
The faces are the flat, triangle-shaped surfaces that make up the surface of the pyramid. A pyramid has four faces.
It is 288 cm^2.

you calculate the area of one side, then multiply it by three.
False, the prism can be of any length.
A rectangular pyramid you use 1/3 or divide 3 in the product but a triangular prism you use 1/2 or divide 2 on the product.
