A pyramid has 5(five) faces. Made up of 4 trigular faces and a square base .
You need to know the length of the square base and the length of a sloping face , from the top of the pyramid to the centre of the base line.
Hence
Area of triangl;e = 0.5 X sloping length X base)
Area of the four triangles = 4 X 0.5 X sloping length X base)
Area of base = length X length . = length^(2)
Hence the area of the pyramids faces = 4 X 0.5 X sloping length X base + length^(2)
NB Notice this last term is 'added' , not multiplied.

i am trying to calculate my loft space, also what shape is a toblerone box and how do you calculate that
length x width x height divided by 3.
how to calculate area of a wire
1) Calculate the area 2) Calculate the volume 3) Divide the area by the volume to get the ratio
You measure or calculate the surface area; you measure or calculate the volume and then you divide the first by the second. The surface areas and volumes will, obviously, depend on the shape.
Area of a room is its length times width.
