google is being a pain right now so i cant find a simple answer, its giving me all these complex examples instead
I JUST NEED THE FORMULA FOR FINDING THE LATERAL AREA OF A SQUARE PYRAMID.
THAT'S ALL.
thank you.....

slant height x perimeter = lateral area
From Maths is Fun:
"For Lateral Area :
When all the side faces are the same:
Just multiply the perimeter by the "slant length" and divide by 2. This is because the side faces are always triangles and the triangle formula is "base times height divided by 2"
But if the side faces are different (such as an "irregular" pyramid) then add up the area of each triangular shape to find the total lateral area."

thanx Ms. Sue!!!:)
so here is my example:
22 x 32 = 704/2 = 352?
