Learn how to determine the surface area of a pyramid

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the surface area of a regular polygon. It begins with finding the area of the base, followed by determining the lateral surface area. The tutorial then combines these to find the total surface area. The instructor uses a regular polygon with equal sides and angles, providing step-by-step calculations and explanations. The video concludes with a summary and an invitation for questions.

What is the area of the base of a regular polygon if each side is 2 meters?

• 2 square meters

• 4 square meters

• 8 square meters

• 6 square meters

How do you calculate the lateral surface area of a polygon?

• Base times height

• 1/2 perimeter times height

• Perimeter times base

• Height times width

What is the perimeter of a regular polygon with each side measuring 2 meters and having 4 sides?

• 8 meters

• 10 meters

• 6 meters

• 4 meters

If the lateral surface area is 20 square meters and the base area is 4 square meters, what is the total surface area?

• 28 square meters

• 22 square meters

• 24 square meters

• 26 square meters

What is the formula to find the total surface area of a polygon?

• Base area plus lateral area

• Base area times lateral area

• Lateral area divided by base area

• Base area minus lateral area
