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.
What is the equation for the total surface area of a pyramid?
s+s+s+s+b=area of pyramid
What is the mathematical formula for calculating the surface area of a truncated pyramid?
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.
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
How to find the surface area of a triangular based pyramid?
Surface area of any pyramid is 1/2Pl + B; where P=perimeter of the base, l=slant height and B= Area of the base.

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.

How do you find the surface area of a hexagonal pyramid?
you dont
What is the surface area of a rectangular pyramid?
Figure it out stupid.
What is the surface area of a regular triangular pyramid with the lateral surface area of 72cm?
It is 288 cm^2.
What is the difference between total surface area and lateral surface area?
total surface area is all of the area. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the square on the bottom and the four triangle sides lateral surface area is all the surface area EXCEPT the base. ex. for a square pyramid it would be the area of the four sides of the pyramid. the bottom square is NOT included. for a triangular prism it would be the area of the three rectangle sides, NOT the two triangular sides
What is the surface area of a triangular pyramid if each face has an area of 80 square cm?
If it is a 4 faced tetrahedron pyramid then its complete surface area is 4*80 =320 square centimetres
How to find the surface area of a triangular based pyramid?
Surface area of any pyramid is 1/2Pl + B; where P=perimeter of the base, l=slant height and B= Area of the base.
