11.3 and 11.5: Pyramids and Cones

Pyramids

Pyramid – A 3-D figure with one face (the base) that is any polygon and the other faces (the lateral faces) are triangles that meet at a common vertex.

Regular Pyramid – Base is a regular polygon.

Slant Height (l ) – The length of an altitude of a lateral face of the pyramid.

How are the height and slant height related to the edge of the base of a pyramid???

Surface Area of Pyramids

THEOREM 11.3 – Surface Area of Regular PyramidThe surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the lateral area and the area of the base.
