In a regular pentagonal pyramid, each lateral edge measures
a) Find the lateral area of the pyramid.
b) Find the total area of the pyramid.
(a)
To find:
The lateral area of the pyramid.
Given:
A regular pentagonal pyramid, each lateral edge measures
Properties used:
A pyramid is made by connecting a base to an apex. The base is flat with straight edges, no curves, hence, a polygon and all other faces are triangles.
A regular pyramid is a pyramid whose base is a regular polygon and whose lateral edges are all congruent.
In a regular pyramid with slant height
The slant height
The lateral area
In a regular pyramid, the lengths of the apothem
Calculation:
From the figure below
Lateral edge measures
The apothem of the base measures
Calculating
(b)
To find:
The total area of the pyramid.
