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 the surface area of a regular pyramid?
Surface Area= 1/2perimeter x slant height + B * * * * * Perimeter = perimeter of base. B = Area of base.
What are faces of a congruent regular polygon?
A regular polygon has equal sides and angles. A polygon has a surface area but a polyhedron has many faces as for example a 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 solve a pyramid only knowing the volume and altitude?
You require a lot more information before the question can be answered. First, you do not solve a pyramid. A pyramid is a 3-dimensional shape - it is there. You do not solve it. You can Solve for its surface area, or its base area or its height or something. But the question does not say what you are trying to solve for. Second. You do not specify whether it is a triangular pyramid, a quadrilateral one, pentagonal or so on. If the question were about the base area, that would not matter, but if it is about anything else, that piece of information is critical. So I suggest you think about what information you do have and what you want to find out and then resubmit a sensible question that someone can answer.
