12.3 Surface Area of Pyramids and Cones

State Standards8, 9: Solve problems involving

the surface area lateral area of geometric solids and COMMIT TO MEMORY THE NECESSARY FORMULAS.

Lesson Goals• Find the surface area of a

pyramid

definitions• Pyramid

– Base: a polygon– Lateral faces: triangles around the perimeter of the base with a common vertex.– Altitude: the perpendicular distance between the base and the vertex.– A pyramid is named for its base.

Rectangular Pyramid Hexagonal Pyramid

definitionsPyramid Regular: the base is a regular polygon Slant height: the altitude of any lateral face. A non-regular pyramid does not have a defined slant height.
