how do you find the surface area of a regular pyramid???????????

OpenStudy (taylor<3srin):

The formula for the surface area of a pyramid is \[L.S.A=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }pl\] P=the perimeter and L=the slant height.

OpenStudy (hba):

First of all find out the perimeter of the base and the slant height from the diagram or data provided and then plug into the formula: 1/3 p*l

OpenStudy (hba):

1/2*

OpenStudy (hba):

Now plug it in the formula.
