Chapter 8 Pyramids

This document provides information on calculating the surface area and volume of pyramids. It defines key terms like base, lateral face, height, slant height, and regular pyramid. It presents the formulas for finding the lateral area, surface area, and volume of regular pyramids. Several examples are provided to demonstrate calculating these values for various pyramids given dimensions of the base and height or slant height. The goal is for students to practice applying these formulas to find surface areas and volumes of different pyramids.

Surface Area and Volume of

Pyramids

Goal: Students will find the surface area and


volume of pyramids.
Surface Area of Pyramids
• A pyramid is a polyhedron in which the base is a
polygon and the lateral faces are triangles with a
common vertex, called the vertex of the pyramid.

• The intersection of two lateral faces is a lateral


edge.

• The intersection of the base and a lateral face is a


base edge.
• The height of the pyramid is the perpendicular
distance between the base and the vertex, called the
altitude.
Regular Pyramid
• A regular pyramid has a regular polygon for a
base, and the segment joining the vertex and the
center of the base is perpendicular to the base.

• The lateral faces of a regular pyramid are congruent


isosceles triangles.
• The slant height, l, of a regular pyramid is the
height of a lateral face of the regular pyramid.

Ex.1: A regular square pyramid has a height of 15


centimeters and a base edge length of 16
centimeters. Find the area of each lateral face of the
pyramid.
• The lateral area of a pyramid is the sum of the
areas of the congruent lateral faces.

• The surface area of a pyramid is when the area of


the base is added to its lateral area.
• Theorem 12.4 Surface Area of a Regular
Pyramid:
1
Lateral Area: L.A. = pl

1
Surface Area: S  pl  B

where p is the perimeter of the base, l is the


slant height, and B is the area of the
base.
Ex.2: Find the surface area of the regular pyramid.

Ex.3: Find the surface area of the regular pyramid.


Ex.4: Find the surface area of the regular pyramid.

Ex.5: Find the surface area of the regular pyramid.


Volume of Pyramids
• Theorem 12.9 Volume of a Pyramid:

1
Volume: V  Bh
3
where B is the area of the base, h is the height
of the pyramid.
Ex.6: Find the volume of the solid.

Ex.7: Find the volume of a regular square pyramid with


base edges 40 feet long and slant height 25 feet.
Ex.8: Originally, the pyramid had height 144 meters
and volume 2, 226, 450 cubic meters. Find the side
length of the square base.
Ex.9: Find the volume of the solid shown.
Ex.10: Find the surface area of the solid shown.
