Exploring Surface Area Concepts

How many faces does a square pyramid have?

• 3

• 6

• 5

• 4

What units are used for measuring the surface area of the pyramid?

• Feet squared

• Centimeters squared

• Inches squared

• Meters squared

What is the base length of the square pyramid?

• 15 cm

• 12 cm

• 10 cm

• 8 cm

What is the vertical height of the pyramid?

• 14 cm

• 10 cm

• 8 cm

• 12 cm

Why can't the vertical height be used directly in calculating the surface area?

• It's not connected to the surface.

• It's too long.

• It's only useful for volume.

• It's too short.

What mathematical theorem is used to calculate the slant height?

• Euler's formula

• Pythagorean theorem

• Fermat's Last Theorem

• The Quadratic Formula

What is the purpose of calculating the slant height?

• To find the volume of the pyramid

• To determine the surface area of the sides

• To measure the height of the pyramid

• To calculate the base area

How many triangles need their area calculated to find the total surface area?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 5

What additional shape's area must be added to the triangles' to find the total surface area?

• A rectangle

• A square

• Another triangle

• A circle
