To find the surface area of a triangular pyramid, we need to know the base area and the lateral area.
The base of the pyramid is a triangle, so we find the base area by using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Base Area = (1/2) * base * height,
where the base is the length of one side of the triangle and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.
Once we have the base area, we can calculate the lateral area of the pyramid. Since the pyramid is made up of triangular faces, the lateral area is the sum of the areas of each face.
Since we don't have the specific dimensions of the pyramid mentioned in your question, we cannot provide a numerical answer. However, you can apply the surface area formula using the dimensions of your fence to find the surface area of each triangular pyramid.
A metal worker is creating decorative points in the form of triangular pyramids to go on top of a fence she is building she wants to know the surface area of each pyramid use the surface area formula to find the surface area of each pyramid based on the figure
