For a regular pyramid, the surface area (SA) is the following:
SA= Area of Base + 1/2 [Perimeter x Side Length]
As you know, the area of the base is the flat part of the pyramid which points the vertical lines to one point: above the center of the base. You need to find the perimeter of the base first, and then find the side length via Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). Finally, plug them into the equation above, and you'll have your answer.

How do you find the Surface area of pyramids?
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.
How do you find surface area of a regular pyramid?
Area = B + ( (PH)/2 ) Where B is the base area, P is the base perimeter and H is the piramid height.
How do you find the surface area of a regular pyramid?
Surface Area= 1/2perimeter x slant height + B * * * * * Perimeter = perimeter of base. B = Area of base.
In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?
False
How do you solve the Surface area of a regular pyramid?
There is no "regular pyramid". There are triangle pyramids, square pyramids, pentagon pyramids, etc. With the information given in your question, there is no way to answer.
