Pyramid – a polyhedron with one base (a polygon) and triangular lateral faces that meet at a common vertex. Regular Pyramid – a pyramid with a regular base, and the segment joining the vertex and center of the base is perpendicular to the base. Slant Height – Height of the lateral face of a regular pyramid.

EXAMPLE 1 Find the area of a lateral face of a pyramid SOLUTION Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the slant height l. l 2 =15 2 +8 2 Write formula. l 2 = h 2 +( b) 2 1 2 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 Substitute for h and b. 1 2

EXAMPLE 2 Find the surface area of a pyramid SOLUTION Find the surface area of the regular hexagonal pyramid. First, find the area of the base using the formula for the area of a regular polygon, aP. The apothem a of the hexagon is 5√ 3 feet and the perimeter P is 6 10 = 60 feet. So, the area of the base B is (5√ 3)(60) = 150√ 3 square feet. Then, find the surface area. 1 2 1 2

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2 2. Find the surface area of the regular pentagonal pyramid shown. The surface area of the rectangle pentagon pyramid is 256 m 2 ANSWER
9
Cone – circular base and vertex not in the same plane as the base. Height is perpendicular distance from vertex to base.
12
EXAMPLE 3 Standardized Test Practice SOLUTION To find the slant height l of the right cone, use the Pythagorean Theorem. l 2 = h 2 + r 2 l 2 = 8 2 + 6 2 l = 10 Write formula. Substitute. Find positive square root.
13
EXAMPLE 3 Use the formula for the surface area of a right cone. Standardized Test Practice S = πr 2 + πrl = π(6 2 ) + π(6)(10) = 96π Formula for surface area of a right cone Substitute. Simplify. The correct answer is B. ANSWER
14
EXAMPLE 4 Find the lateral area of a cone TRAFFIC CONE SOLUTION To find the slant height l, use the Pythagorean Theorem. l 2 = 18 2 + (5.7) 2, so l ≈ 18.9 inches. The traffic cone can be approximated by a right cone with radius 5.7 inches and height 18 inches. Find the approximate lateral area of the traffic cone.
15
EXAMPLE 4 Find the lateral area of a cone Find the lateral area. Lateral area = πrl = π(5.7)(18.9) ≈ 338.4 Write formula. Substitute known values. Simplify and use a calculator. The lateral area of the traffic cone is about 338.4 square inches. ANSWER
