Find the lateral and surface area. Can anyone plz help??

Pic

OpenStudy (janu16):

@triciaal can you help with this?

OpenStudy (janu16):

@Nnesha

OpenStudy (triciaal):

don't like these 3D need to use pythagorean theorem

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the base is a hexagon of side 4 agree?

OpenStudy (janu16):

Yes

OpenStudy (triciaal):

for each of 6 "triangle face "area = 1/2 * base * perpendicular height

OpenStudy (janu16):

So 12•4•6•1/2?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

Theorem 12.4 The surface Area of a Regular Pyramid is S = B + 1/2 Pl. where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base and l is the slant height.

OpenStudy (janu16):

What does 12.4 mean?

OpenStudy (janu16):

I did puthagorean theorem and i got 12.6

OpenStudy (triciaal):

Theorem 12.4 from a text (like the name of process)

OpenStudy (janu16):

Ohok but do you do puthagorean first? I did and got 12.6 what do you do next

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@jim_thompson5910 can you please help me clean this up?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@mathstudent55 help?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@dan815

OpenStudy (janu16):

You dont have any idea how to do this or you don't know how to explain this to me?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

I have a problem explaining it clearly

OpenStudy (janu16):

But just tell me how many formula and whcih one to use cause i need to turn this in tomorrow its for extra credit for my class

OpenStudy (triciaal):

well I gave you the formula straight from the text I am not the expert I tried to help and even tried to get extra help for clarification sorry if that's not enough

OpenStudy (janu16):

I needed help for lateral area firat but you gave formula for surface area. So i looked up a formula for lateral atea of. Hexagonal pyramid but the formula asks for base edge so how do you find base edge?

OpenStudy (janu16):

Nvm i found the lateral area and surface area thx anyways

OpenStudy (triciaal):

I gave the lateral area = I said each face is a triangle and you have 6 The area of each is 1/2 bl where b is the length of the side and l is the slant height

OpenStudy (janu16):

Whats the formula for surface area of hexagonal pyramid

OpenStudy (triciaal):

S = B + 1/2 Pl

OpenStudy (janu16):

L is the slant height right and what is p?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

perimeter

OpenStudy (triciaal):

perimeter of the base = 6 b

OpenStudy (janu16):

Ok hold on

OpenStudy (janu16):

I got 40 when i did 4+1/2(6)(12) is it correct? @triciaal

OpenStudy (triciaal):

no B = base area b= length of side

OpenStudy (janu16):

Base area is 144

OpenStudy (janu16):

Ok so the answer would be 144+24squareroot3??
