The formula for surface area of a triangular pyramid can be calculated by finding the sum of the areas of its triangular faces.
The formula for the surface area of a triangular pyramid is:
Surface Area = Base Area + Lateral Area
1. Base Area: The base of a triangular pyramid is a triangle. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is:
Area of a Triangle = (base * height) / 2
To calculate the base area of the triangular pyramid, you need to calculate the area of the base triangle using the formula mentioned above.
2. Lateral Area: The lateral surface area of a triangular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its three triangular faces. Each triangular face can be calculated using the formula mentioned above.
Once you have calculated the base area and all three lateral areas, you can add them to find the total surface area of the triangular pyramid.
