Find the lateral area of the regular pyramid

L. A. =

FOR REGULAR PYRAMID with those dimension.

L.A = 96

FOR HEXAGONAL PYRAMID with those dimension

L.A = 171.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Please the question asked for L.A of a REGULAR PYRAMID, but the figure is a HEXAGON PYRAMID.

Hence I solved for both:

FOR REGULAR PYRAMID

Lateral Area (L.A) = 1/2* p * l

Where p = Perimeter of base

P = 4s

P = 4 * 6

P = 24cm

l = slanted height

l = 8cm

L.A = 1/2 * 24 * 8

L.A = 1/2 ( 192)

L.A = 96cm ^ 2

FOR AN HEXAGONAL PYRAMID

Lateral Area = 3a √ h^2 + (3a^2) / 4

Where:

a = Base Edge = 6

h = Height = 8

L.A = 3*6 √ 8^2 + ( 3*6^2) / 4

L.A = 18 √ 64 + ( 3 * 36) / 4

L.A = 18 √ 64 + 108/4

L.A = 18 √ 64+27

L.A = 18 √ 91

L.A = 18 * 9.539

L.A = 171.71

$9.41
