Find the lateral area, total area, and volume of the triangular pyramid. (Picture attached in next comment)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For some reason I can't attach the picture from my iPad x.x But literally it is just a three sided triangular pyramid with each side length as 4. That is including the length of one base side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

draw it!!! the picture is a part of question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't, because whenever I type in my response it won't allow me to attach any files. Could I send a screenshot to you in a message or email?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes,you can :) upload the picture,use this site: http://easycaptures.com/

Hope that works!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it works ;) just wait a moment...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!! You have no idea how much this helps!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the m of high?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know. That's what I've been trying to find out.

@ivettef365 , @AkashdeepDeb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think they can help you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you ^^

Do you know what the area of a cone is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a pyramid, not a cone. Completely different formula.

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

I know! :) But do you know the volume of a cone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the only thing that I know honestly is the slant height, and I believe that is 4sqrt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't. Can you walk me through it please?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Excellent no problem!! :D The volume of a cone is actually 1/3rd the area of the base multiplied by its height! :D 1/3 * pi * r*r*h Got it? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How does that relate to the pyramid?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

I'll tell you. [PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE] :D But did you get the cone part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand, but I don't know how to plug it in.

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Okay no problem! See all these kinds of shapes have ONE COMMON TRAIT! If its a cone, a pyramid, a square or pentagonal pyramid they all have a common volume formula! Which states that the volume is 1/3rd the base area times height! :D Got this?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

@gravi-made ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand! XD I'm sorry, I'm currently in school right now- but I'm trying to work on this too. I just got to my other class @AkashdeepDeb
