Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = sqrt (c^2 - b^2)
Where:
a=the height (pyramid height from base to peak)
b=the base length
c = the hypotenuse (slant) length
LA=1/2ps
Surface area of any pyramid is 1/2Pl + B; where P=perimeter of the base, l=slant height and B= Area of the base.
By using trigonometry or Pythagoras' theorem
The lateral surface area of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula: ( \text{Lateral Area} = 2 \times \text{base length} \times \text{slant height} ). Here, the base length refers to the length of one side of the square base, and the slant height is the height of the triangular face from the base to the apex of the pyramid. To find the total lateral area, simply plug in the values for the base length and slant height into the formula.

To find the slant height of a square base pyramid, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. First, determine the height (h) of the pyramid and half the length of a side of the square base (s/2). The slant height (l) can then be calculated using the formula ( l = \sqrt{h^2 + (s/2)^2} ), where ( s ) is the length of one side of the square base. This gives you the length of the slant height from the apex of the pyramid to the midpoint of a side of the base.
if you know the height and the apothem, use pythagorean theorem to solve for it.
Knowing the slant height helps because it represents the height of the triangle that makes up each lateral face. So, the slant height helps you to find the surface area of each lateral face.
Why do you need to FIND the slant height if you have the [lateral height and] slant height?
You need some information about the height of the pyramid and the formula will depend on whether you have the vertical height or the slant height or the length of a lateral edge.
You have to find out the area of the base which you find out with perpendicular height times base then time that by the perpendicular height of the pyramid and divide it by 3
