what is the surface area of the triangular pyramid?

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

OpenStudy (vhtran):

find the area of the non-shaded triangle and the shaded triangle.

OpenStudy (vhtran):

once you get your answer for the non-shaded triangle, multiply it by 3 because there are 3 of them and add that with the shaded triangle to get your total surface area.

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

14

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

i got 672

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

is it wrong

OpenStudy (vhtran):

yes, the formula for the area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2

OpenStudy (vhtran):

if you do that for all the triangles and add them. it would be a much smaller number than 672

OpenStudy (vhtran):

14 was closer to the answer.

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

21

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

is 21 right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

there are 4 similar triangles area of one triangle = base-height/2 A=4*3,5/2 = 2*3,5 =7 Apyramid = 7*4 = ?

OpenStudy (jgkg13):

28

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

right sure

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
