what is the total area of one face of the pyramid? what is the total surface area of the faces of the pyramid, not counting the bottom? ( Hint: the bottom of the pyramid is a square.)
pyramid=4 triangles and 1 square base area of triangle=(1/2)bh
4 triangles therefor area of 4 triangles=4(1/2)bh= area of 4 triangles=area of faces of pyramid area of faces of pyramid=4/2bh area of faces of pyramid=2bh
h=slant height
2bh is answer where h=slant height and b=base legnth
