explain it as well
to start surface area of a pyramid, S = B + 1/2 P*l and the volume of a pyramid, V = 1/3 B h B = area of the base P = perimeter h = height l = slant height
and this is asking for a lateral area
then you do b x i +h / p
to find the slant height of the pyramid use pythagorean theorem l^2 = h^2 + (1/2 s)^2 for this problem h = 6 and s = 4 l = rt of {(6)^2 + (1/2*4)^2}= 36 +4 = rt of 40 = 6.32 the area of each lateral face is 1/2(base of lateral face)(slant height) = (1/2) (4)(6.32)= there are 4 lateral faces area = 4*12.64 = 50.56 to the nearest whole number = 51
explanation the formula for the area of a lateral face of a pyramid is 1/2(base of face)(slant height) there are 4 lateral faces so total area = 2 (base of face)*slant height use pythagorean theorem to find the slant height, l given the height, h and the side, s l^2 = h^2 + (1/2s)^2 A = 2 s l for this problem given s = 4 and h = 6 l = 6.32 A = 2*4*6.32 = 50.56 rounded to whole number = 51 unit of measure for area given the length in m = m^2
