he surface area of this triangular pyramid, whose base and lateral faces are congruent equilateral triangles, is square inches.

1 answer:

8 0

If we have triangular pyramid with a side of s and all the faces and the base are equilateral triangles, then the formula for the total surface area is
SA = 3As + Ab
Where As is the area of the three faces
and
Ab is the area of the base
Since the triangles are equilateral, the surface area in terms of s is
SA = 3 (√3/ 4) s² + √3/ 4 s²
SA = √3 s²

Answer:

The area is 72 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is equivalent triangle

h = b

so,

b + b + b (since all sides are equal)= 36 cm

3b = 36 cm

or, b = 36/3
