find the lateral area of a regular pentagonal pyramid with a slant height of 14 inches and a base side length of 6 inches

OpenStudy (phi):

the lateral area is the area of the sides (which means we ignore the area of the base) each side is a triangle, with height 14 and base 6 a pentagon has 5 sides (penta is Latin for 5) can you try ?
