Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the lateral and total surface area of the following pyramids.
(a) Square-based pyramid with base 6cm and slant height 14cm;
(b) Triangular-based pyramid with base 12cm and slant height 20cm
(a) The perimeter of the base is P=4s, since it is a square, therefore,
P=4×6=24 cm
The general formula for the lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is LSA = 1/2
Pl where P represents the perimeter of the base and l is the slant height.
Since the perimeter of the pyramid is P=24 cm and the slant height is l=14 cm, therefore, the lateral surface area is:
Now, the area of the base B=s^2 with s=6 cm is:
Base =s^2 =6^2 =36 cm^2
The general formula for the total surface area of a regular pyramid is TSA= 1/2 Pl+B where P represents the perimeter of the base, l is the slant height and B is the area of the base.
Since LSA= 1/2 Pl=168 cm^2 and area of the base is B=36 cm^2, therefore, the total surface area is:
Hence, lateral surface area of the pyramid is 168 cm^2 and total surface area is 204 cm^2.
b) The perimeter of the base is P=4s, since it is a triangle, therefore,
P=3×12=36 cm
The general formula for the lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is LSA= 1/2 Pl where P represents the perimeter of the base and l is the slant height.
Since the perimeter of the pyramid is P=36 cm and the slant height is l=20 cm, therefore, the lateral surface area is:
The general formula for the total surface area of a regular pyramid is TSA= 1/2 Pl+B where P represents the perimeter of the base, l is the slant height and B is the area of the base.
Since LSA= 1/2 Pl=360 cm^2 and area of the base is B=36 3 cm^2, therefore, the total surface area is:
Hence, lateral surface area of the pyramid is 360 cm^2 and total surface area is
