What is the surface area formula of a pyramid???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

G * h / 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean for a regular tetrahedron where all the sides are the same shape? Or does it have a square base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has a square base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

G = the area of the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sry was typing the volume formula :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let L be the length of the side of the square making the base. The surface area = L^2 + 4 * (sqrt[(L^2)/4 + h^2])

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"The surface area = L^2 + 4 * (sqrt[(L^2)/4 + h^2])" is it not:The surface area = L^2 + 4 * (sqrt[(L^2)/4 + h^2] * L) ?
