The answer depends on the what characteristic of the pyramid you want the formula for: its surface area, its volume or something else.
It is: base area+(4*triangle areas)
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
Square base with 5 sides. Formula for area: 1/3(area of the base)(height)
To calculate the surface area of a truncated pyramid, you first take the surface area of each side. That would be the base time the straight height. If it is a 4 side pyramid with equivelant sides, multiply that answer by 4.
