Pyramid Puzzles

Worksheet Description

This math worksheet focuses on calculating the surface area of various pyramids. Students will use the provided formula to determine the surface area of each pyramid, rounding their answers to the nearest hundredth if necessary. The worksheet includes a mix of triangular and rectangular pyramids, each with given base dimensions and slant heights. By completing these exercises, students will strengthen their ability to apply geometric formulas and enhance their problem-solving skills.

This worksheet teaches students how to calculate the surface area of pyramids, an essential geometry skill. Students will learn to identify the base area and perimeter of the pyramid and use the slant height to find the lateral surface area. The exercises help students practice applying the formula SA = B + 1/2 x P x l, where B is the base area, P is the perimeter, and l is the slant height. Mastering this skill is crucial for understanding more complex geometric concepts and solving real-world problems involving three-dimensional shapes.
