Pyramids & Cones Pyramid – a polyhedron where the base is a polygon and the lateral faces are triangles with a common vertex. Cone– a solid with a circular base and a vertex that is not in the same plane as the base.
Surface Area verses Lateral Area of a Pyramid The lateral area of a pyramid: LA = P = Perimeter of the base l = slant height • The surface area of a pyramid: • SA = B = Area of the base
Surface Area verses Lateral Area of a Cone The lateral area of a cone: LA = r = radius of the base l= slant height • The surface area of a cone: • SA =
