Surface Area of Regular Pyramids

The measurements are all in the can. The review for the math portion of the General Certificate of Secondary Education assessments provides scholars the opportunity to review finding volume and surface area of a cylinder. Pupils work on...

Surface area is the sum of the parts. Given the measurements of different prisms, pupils determine their surface areas. Individuals find the area of each surface and figure out the surface area by finding the sum. The video, part of a...

In this comprehensive  activity, young geometers solve a number of surface area and volume problems. Problems range from basic formula-based calculations to more challenging geometric figures and word problems. 

How do you find the area if an object has more than four sides? Learners view an interesting video to learn how to determine the surface areas of rectangular prisms and pyramids. They see how to draw two-dimensional nets of the figures...

Scratch more than just the surface when investigating surface area. The second video of six installments in the Geometry - Surface Area and Volume unit focuses on the surface area of pyramids and cones. Young mathematicians learn to...

Create a solid understanding of the concept of surface area. Building from the previous lesson in the series, the instructor demonstrates how to apply a formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism. Examples use the formula to...

Did you know you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height of a cone? You can! Just watch this tutorial and see how you can find the lateral and surface area of a given cone using slant height and the Pythagorean theorem.

The lateral surface area of a cone. Hmmm, what does that mean? Oh, it means the part you see if the cone was sitting on a flat surface, so it does not include the base. But if you want to include the base then it would be finding the...

A regular pyramid has four equal triangular shaped sides and a square base. The lateral area is comprised of the area of the four triangular sides. The surface area is the area of the four triangular sides plus the area of the base....

Lateral area and surface area are simple concepts, but calculating them is not as easy! Using formulas, learners calculate lateral area and surface area for the same three-dimensional figures. The resource discusses the formula variables...
