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.
Q. What is the formula for slant height of a pyramid?
The slant height and the altitude are both sides of a right triangle that can be visualized inside every cone and pyramid. The slant height can be calculated using the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Q. How do you find volume of square pyramid?
To find the volume of a square-based pyramid, use the formula V = A(h/3), where V is the volume and A is the area of the base.
Q. How do you calculate the area of a prism?
The general formula for the total surface area of a right prism is T. S. A. =ph+2B where p represents the perimeter of the base, h the height of the prism and B the area of the base.
Q. What is the difference between surface area and lateral area?
The total surface area of a solid is the sum of the areas of all of the faces or surfaces that enclose the solid. The faces include the tops and bottoms (bases) and the remaining surfaces. The lateral surface area of a solid is the surface area of the solid without the bases. Imagine a soup can.
Q. How do you find the surface area of a six sided pyramid?
Review the steps for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid:
- Find the area of the base of the pyramid.
- Find the slant height of the triangular side of the pyramid.
- Find the area of each triangular side and multiply it by the number of sides.
- Add the area of the sides to the area of the base for total area!
Q. What is difference between height and slant height?
The vertical height (or altitude) which is the perpendicular distance from the top down to the base. The slant height which is the distance from the top, down the side, to a point on the base circumference.
Q. Why do we use slant height?
The slant height is a very important property of a pyramid or a cone. Essentially, it measures the height of the apex, but along the slant of one of the lateral faces. The Pythagorean Theorem also helps us calculate the slant height for a right pyramid with a regular polygon base.
Q. Is it possible for the slant height of a right circular cone to be less than the radius of the same cone?
Answer. No, radius of a right circular cone can’t be more than or greater than its slant height. Even if we increase the radius, there is a need to change the length of slant height. increase in radius is directly proportional to increase in slant height.
