Surface Area (S.A.) = Lateral area (L.A.) + Base Area (B)

Since the base of the pyramid is a square, then B = (5.3 yd)2 = 28.09 yd2.

To find L.A., the sum of the four triangular areas with base 5.3 yd, we need to find first their slant height (l) by using the Pythagorean theorem.

l = √[(5.3/2)2 + 11.12] = √(28.09/4 + 123.21) = √[(28.09 + 123.21*4)/4] = (√520.93)/2 yd.

L.A. = 4[(1/2)(5.3√520.93)] = 10.6√520.93 yd2.

S.A. = 10.6√520.93 + 28.09 ≈ 270 yd2.

The slant height of a pyramid is 46 ft The base is a square with a side length of 24 ft What is the height of the pyramid Round your answer to the nearest tenth?

If there is a picture, it would be very useful, because the height and slant height are two sides of a right triangle. A good picture would show that the bottom side of this triangle is half the side length of the square. This is a leg of the right triangle: A=12' The hypotenuse of the triangle is the slant height: C=46' The "unknown" height is the other leg of the right triangle: B=? The pythagorean theorem A2+B2=C2 gives 144sqft+B2=2116sqft Solving for B gives B=44.4' Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 44.4 feet.


Is The slant height of a regular square pyramid is longer than its altitude?

Yes, the slant height of a regular square pyramid is longer than its altitude. The altitude is the perpendicular height from the apex to the center of the base, while the slant height is the distance from the apex to the midpoint of a side of the base. In a right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base side, and the slant height, the slant height serves as the hypotenuse, making it inherently longer than the altitude.

How do you work out the trigonometry of a rectangular based pyramid?

The answer depends on what you wish to work out: the angles, height, surface area, volume. Also, you need more information: the vertical or inclined height and whether or not the pyramid is a right pyramid.


How do you find the lateral height of a square pyramid?

To find the lateral height of a square pyramid, first identify the apex (top point) of the pyramid and the midpoint of one of its base sides. The lateral height is the length of the segment connecting the apex to this midpoint. You can use the Pythagorean theorem, where the lateral height forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the height of the pyramid and half the base length as the two other sides. Thus, the formula is ( l = \sqrt{h^2 + \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2} ), where ( l ) is the lateral height, ( h ) is the height, and ( b ) is the length of a base side.
