Objectives You will be able to calculate the surface area of a pyramid and a cone.
The vertex of a pyramidis the point opposite the base of the pyramid. The base of a regular pyramidis a regular polygon, and the lateral faces are congruent isosceles triangles. The slant height of a regular pyramidis the distance from the vertex to the midpoint of an edge of the base. The altitude of a pyramidis the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the plane of the base.
The lateral faces of a regular pyramid can be arranged to cover half of a rectangle with a height equal to the slant height of the pyramid. The width of the rectangle is equal to the base perimeter of the pyramid.
Example 1A: Finding Lateral Area and Surface Area of Pyramids Find the lateral area and surface area of a regular square pyramid with base edge length 14 cm and slant height 25 cm. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Lateral area of a regular pyramid P = 4(14) = 56 cm Surface area of a regular pyramid B = 142 = 196 cm2
The apothem is , so the base area is Example 1B: Finding Lateral Area and Surface Area of Pyramids Find the lateral area and surface area of the regular pyramid. Step 1 Find the base perimeter and apothem. The base perimeter is 6(10) = 60 in.

The vertex of a coneis the point opposite the base. The axis of a coneis the segment with endpoints at the vertex and the center of the base. The axis of a right coneis perpendicular to the base. The axis of an oblique coneis not perpendicular to the base.
The slant height of a right coneis the distance from the vertex of a right cone to a point on the edge of the base. The altitude of a coneis a perpendicular segment from the vertex of the cone to the plane of the base.
Example 2A: Finding Lateral Area and Surface Area of Right Cones Find the lateral area and surface area of a right cone with radius 9 cm and slant height 5 cm. L = rℓ Lateral area of a cone = (9)(5) = 45 cm2 Substitute 9 for r and 5 for ℓ. S = rℓ + r2 Surface area of a cone = 45 + (9)2 = 126 cm2 Substitute 5 for ℓ and 9 for r.
Example 2B: Finding Lateral Area and Surface Area of Right Cones Find the lateral area and surface area of the cone. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find ℓ. L = rℓ Lateral area of a right cone = (8)(17) = 136 in2 Substitute 8 for r and 17 for ℓ. S = rℓ+ r2 Surface area of a cone = 136 + (8)2 = 200 in2 Substitute 8 for r and 17 for ℓ.

L = rℓ Lateral area of a right cone = (8)(10) = 80 cm2 Substitute 8 for r and 10 for ℓ. S = rℓ + r2 Surface area of a cone = 80 + (8)2 = 144 cm2 Substitute 8 for r and 10 for ℓ.
Example 3: Exploring Effects of Changing Dimensions The base edge length and slant height of the regular hexagonal pyramid are both divided by 5. Describe the effect on the surface area.
