No. Base times half the altitude gives the area.

Are all faces of a square pyramid triangles?
4 faces are triangles and 1 face is a square the square face is the base of the pyramid
What is the formula for a triangular pyramid in surface area?
A=1/2bh The area of a triangle is 1/2bh. If the base of it is a triangle and all 4 of the triangles aren't the same, then you have to find the area of the base triangle and then the three other triangles (which should all have the same area). If all four of the triangles have the same area, then just find the area of one of the triangles and multiply that by four. A triangular pyramid that has four equal triangles is also called a tetrahedron.
How do you find the base of a square pyramid?
The base of square pyramid is a square, as you may have guessed. If you measure one side of the square base, you'll have discovered the length of a side of the base. A side squared (a side times a side) will give you the area of the base of a square pyramid. If you have the area of the base, you can find the length of a side of the base by finding the square root of the area of the base. In the case of a square pyramid, if you are given the length of a side and either a vertex angle or the angle between the base and a side, you'll have an isosceles triangle to deal with. (There are four isosceles triangles that make up the faces of the square pyramid, as you probably figured out.) This involves a bit of trigonometry, and there are some other questions here that will help you figure that out.
A square pyramid has how many faces?
One side will be a square. It is the base. The lateral sides are triangles.
What does a square based pyramid look like?
the base is a 2-d square with joined triangles, meeting together to make a corner at the top, the triangles height can be any height, or the square can be any size
Can the area of the base of a regular pyramid be greater than the lateral area?
I doubt it because no matter how big the base is, if you laid the triangles in to the position of the base (ex 4 triangles to a square base) they would have a larger area than the base shape
Is it true or false that two triangles that have the same base have the same area?
False. The equation for area of a triangle is 1/2 base x height. The height and the base would have to be the same for two triangles to have the same area.
What shapes are the sides of a square pyramid?
Triangular. the base is square, with four other triangular faces.
How do you find aras of triangles and parallelograms?
Triangles you use : (base x perpendicular height) divided by 2. Parallelogram: you need to find the area of one of the side triangles, then double it (because there's two of them). Then find the area of the square in the middle, and add this to the area of the two triangles.
What is one of a square pyramid is a square The other faces are triangles?
A square pyramid is one that has a square base. This means there are four triangles, one triangle on each side of the square base.
Why is base times height divided by 2?
Because they derive the formula from the area of a square. A square is width x height (or base x height). If you cut the square into two equal triangles, you can get the area of only a single triangle by dividing by 2.
How do you figure out the surface area of a triangular prism?
find the area of triangles(reflecting surfaces) and also the area of rectangle or square(base)and find the sum of both.
Can triangles of different size and shape have the same area?
Yes. For example, one triangle could have a base of 4 units, and a height of 1 unit, which means it would have an area of 2 square units. A different triangle could have a base of 2 units, and a height of 2 units, meaning it would also have an area of 2 square units.
Are all faces of a square pyramid triangles?
4 faces are triangles and 1 face is a square the square face is the base of the pyramid
How do you find the area of a sqaure?
the area of a square equals the product of the base and the height. or, because in a square the base and height are the same it would be the value of the base squared. square base x height = area
The base of this solid figure has 4 equal sides The faces are triangles What is this figure?
There is a contradiction in your question. If the base has four equal sides then is it a square so not all the faces are Triangles. However if the base is a square and the rest of the faces are triangles then your object is a "Square-based Pyramid"
How many triangles dose it have in a square base pyaridmed?
In a pyramid, all the faces that go from the base to meet at the apex are triangles, one on each side of the base. For a square base pyramid, there are 4 sides to the base, so there are 4 triangles Be careful with a triangular based pyramid, there are 3 triangles from the base to the apex, but there is also the triangle of the base itself, so there are 4 triangles in a triangular based pyramid.
