How do you find the surface area of a regular pyramid

The lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces. The total surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces and its base. The general formula for the lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is where p represents the perimeter of the base and l the slant height. Example 1:Find the lateral surface area of a regular pyramid with a triangular base if each edge of the base measures 8 inches and the slant height is 5 inches.The perimeter of the base is the sum of the sides.p = 3(8) = 24 inchesThe general formula for the total surface area of a regular pyramid is where p represents the perimeter of the base, l the slant height and B the area of the base. Example 2:Find the total surface area of a regular pyramid with a square base if each edge of the base measures 16 inches, the slant height of a side is 17 inches and the altitude is 15 inches.The perimeter of the base is 4s since it is a square.p = 4(16) = 64 inches The area of the base is s2.B = 162 = 256 inches2T. S. A. = There is no formula for a surface area of a non-regular pyramid since slant height is not defined.  To find the area, find the area of each face and the area of the base and add them.          

Hope this Helps :););):):)

The surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the lateral area(1/2pl) and the area, B of the base.

(1/2 * pl) + B

p = perimeter of the base

l = slanted height

B = the area of the base

7. diameter 4 miles, circumference 4π miles

8. radius 0.2 miles, circumference 0.4π miles

[this is a bad problem because the actual radius of a car on the track is less than 0.2 miles so the answer is less than 0.4π miles]

9. radius 6 feet, circumference 12π feet

10. diameter 14 cm, circumference 14π cm

11. diameter 4.8 feet, circumference 4.8π feet

number one is the correct answer
