The surface area of a pyramid is the area of all the faces of the pyramid, for a pyramid with apex in the centre and a regular polygon as its base, (the bottom of a pyramid is the base, it is regular if all sides are the same length) the surface area is: B + 1/2(P * H) where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter (area around) the base and H is the height of the pyramid.
we can find the height of a rectangular pyramids located at the top of the base
you do stuff
legnthXwidthXheight Top is close, but only for a rectangular prism :(... It is actually (base area) X height. For pyramids, it is 1/3(base area) X height.
Area = Base * Height so Base = Area/Height

There are various types of pyramids, including regular pyramids (with a regular polygon as the base and congruent isosceles triangles as the faces), right pyramids (with the apex directly above the center of the base), and oblique pyramids (where the apex is not directly above the center of the base). Pyramids can also be classified based on the shape of their base, such as square pyramids, triangular pyramids, pentagonal pyramids, etc.

(1/3) * B * h B is the area of the Base, h is the height.
no , pyramids need not have only squares as their base. the base of a pyramid can be any polygon.
Area = Base * Height so Base = Area/Height
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.
You can find the height of a parallelogram given the area and base measures by working backwards from the area formula. The area of a parallelogram is found with the formula: Area = Base * Height To solve this equation for Height, we divide both sides by the base. Area / Base = (Base * Height) / Base Simplify: Area / Base = Height
Area = (base x height) / 2
Area = 0.5*Base*Height
