Surface Area of Pyramids and Cones Practice
Let's review how to find the surface area of cones and pyramids.
- Find the surface area of the pyramid.
- 9 Units2
- 324 Units2
- 45 Units2
- SA = Area of Base + ½(Perimeter of Base)(l)
- SA = (Length)(Width) + ½(Perimeter of Base)(l)
- SA = 3 × 3 + ½(3 + 3 + 3 + 3)(6)
- SA = 9 + ½(12)(6)
- SA = 9 + ½(72)
- SA = 9 + 36
- SA = 45 Units2
- Find the surface area of the pyramid.
- 97.4 Units2
- 187.4 Units2
- 87.44 Units2
Answer: b. 187.4 Units2
- SA = Area of Base + ½(Perimeter of Base)(l)
- SA = 97.4 + ½(Perimeter of Base)(l)
- SA = 97.4 + ½(15 + 15 +15)(4)
- SA = 97.4 + ½(45)(4)
- SA = 97.4 + ½(180)
- SA = 97.4 + 90
- SA = 187.4 Units2
- Find the surface area of the cone. Use π = 3.14.
- 12.56 Units2
- 87.92 Units2
- 56.52 Units2
Answer: c. 56.52 Units2
- SA = πr2 + π × r × l
- SA = π(2)2 + π × 2 × 7
- SA = 3.14(4) + 3.14 × 14
- SA = 12.56 + 43.96
- SA = 56.52 Units2
- Find the surface area of the prism. The area of the base is 97.4.
- 25 Units2
- 105 Units2
- 2000 Units2
Answer: b. 105 Units2
- SA = Area of Base + ½(Perimeter of Base)(l)
- SA = (Length)(Width) + ½(Perimeter of Base)(l)
- SA = 5 × 5 + ½(5 + 5 + 5 + 5)(8)
- SA = 25 + ½(20)(8)
- SA = 25 + 80
- SA = 105 Units2
- Find the surface area of the cone. Use π = 3.14.
- 141.3 Units2
- 28.26 Units2
- 339.12 Units2
Answer: a. 141.3 Units2
- SA = πr2 + π × r × l
- SA = π(3)2 + π × 3 × 12
- SA = 3.14(9) + 3.14 × 36
- SA = 28.26 + 113.04
- SA = 141.3 Units2
Answer: c. 45 Units2
