Calculate the perimeter of the base by multiplying the side length of the pyramid by four – because a square has four equal sides. Finding the slant height of one of the side faces can prove to be more difficult, but in the real world it can often be measured with fairly simple tools....
The surface area of a three-dimensional geometric solid comprehends the sum of the areas of all sides of it. The lateral area excludes the areas of its end faces (or base). How do you find the lateral surface area? The general equation for the lateral surface area is Area = perimeter ...
A cube has six faces of equal area, and 12 edges of equal length. A cube's two bases — its top and bottom — are both squares, and are parallel to each other.You can find the lateral area of a solid with parallel bases by multiplying the perimeter of the base — the length aroun...
