What is the surface area of a triangulsr pyramid?
If its a triangular based pyramid (tetrahedron) then it will have 4 equilateral triangle faces and so find the area of one face and multiply it by 4 to give the total surface area.
If a square pyramid has a base of 6.3 meters and a height of 4 meters what is the surface area?
To find the height of the triangles on the sides of the pyramid, we use pythagorean theorem. We slice vertically through the center of the pyramid to find a triangle with base of 6.3 and height of 4. Using the pythagorean theorem, we can find that each side of this triangle will be sqrt(42+3.152). This will be the height of the triangles on the sides of the pyramid, let's call it h.So, the area of each triangle will be 1/2*6.3*h. There are 4 of these triangles.The area of the base of the pyramid will be 6.32The total surface area of the pyramid will be SA = 2*6.3*sqrt(42+3.152)+6.32SA ~= 103.84 m2
What is the formula to find the area of pyramid?
It has to do with the surface area formula: To find the total surface area of a pyramid, use this equation: Surface Area = B + 1/2 * P * s B = base area P = perimeter of the base s = slant height To find the volume of a Pyramid, substitute into this equation: V=1/3Bh B=base area h=height of pyramid
What is a formula for surface area of triangle?
K, well there is no surface area of a triangle, because a triangle is a 2s figure. Surface area is for a 3d figure. To find the regular area of a triangle the formula is 1/2 of the base X the height :) gl :P
How do you find the surface area of a rectagle?
to find the surface area of the triangle we just need to multiply the length with breath. area=lengthXbreadth

How do you find the total surface rea of a trianguar pyramid?
Find the area of one of the sides and then multiply it by 3 (3 sides to a triangular pyramid)Then work out the area of the base of the pyramid, and add it to the total area of all the sides.Area of a triangle = Base x Height / 2
How do you find the surface area of an octagonal pyramid?
The formula to find the area of an octagonal pyramid is area of base plus area of sides.

What is the area of a pyramid?
(This is a pyramid with a triangle base)The surface area is: b + 1/2 * p * sb = area of the basep = perimeter of the bases = length of slant sideTo find the volume of a Pyramid:v = 1/3 * b * h b = area of the baseh = height of 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 surface area of a hexagonal pyramid?
you dont
How do you find the formula of the surface area of A SQUARE PYRamid?
I'm not sure, but I think you would find the are of the base and find the area of one of the triangles and multiply the triangle one by four...I am basing this off of my 5th grade math lessons in surface area, so this may not be accurate...but you can try it and find out for me! :D

How do you find the volume and surface area of a triangle or prism?
The Surface area of a triangle = 0.5*base*height The volume of a prism = area of its cross-section*length
