OpenStudy (nincompoop):

[Base Area] + 1/2 × Perimeter × [Slant Length]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that I'm having problems finding the area of the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I confuse it with the perimeter

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

your base is S^2 that is 6^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But there are for sides meaning 4 6's

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

that's perimeter you're doing: sum of all the sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

if a triangle is 1/2 of the base x height then that means it's half the area of a square or a rectangle since even a square can be base x height, but since they're all congruent, we indicate it as s^2
