of a pyramid ?

Answer 3

Of a hexagonal pyramid?

Answer 4

no i dont

Answer 5

Firstly you need to to the opposite of what you would do to find the surface area of the base.

Answer 6

Do you know how to find the surface area of the base?

Answer 7

no i dont

Answer 8

Okay, well here look at this! I will post it one sec.

Answer 9

okay

Mistyped I meant 1.69

Answer 20

it didnt

Answer 23

The point is not to get the answer, but rather that you understand how.

Answer 24

Like I said before we solved to get the side so 1.69 is equivelent to one length. Now you enter the distance and height.

Answer 25

The answer comes out to 14.84 do you understand their calculations?

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

Ok great! I hope you learned how to do it now just how to get the answer. Because I hate using calculators.
