Find the area of one of the sides and then multiply it by 3 (3 sides to a triangular pyramid)
Then work out the area of the base of the pyramid, and add it to the total area of all the sides.

What is the formula to find the area of pyramid?
It has to do with the surface area formula: To find the total surface area of a pyramid, use this equation: Surface Area = B + 1/2 * P * s B = base area P = perimeter of the base s = slant height To find the volume of a Pyramid, substitute into this equation: V=1/3Bh B=base area h=height of pyramid
What is the surface area of a triangulsr pyramid?
If its a triangular based pyramid (tetrahedron) then it will have 4 equilateral triangle faces and so find the area of one face and multiply it by 4 to give the total surface area.

Why cant you find an exact surface area measurement for a prism and pyramid but for a cylinder?
You can find the exact surface area for all of those shapes.
How do you find find the surface area?
The surface area of a pyramid is the area of all the faces of the pyramid, for a pyramid with apex in the centre and a regular polygon as its base, (the bottom of a pyramid is the base, it is regular if all sides are the same length) the surface area is: B + 1/2(P * H) where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter (area around) the base and H is the height of the pyramid.
How do you find the surface area of a triangle pyramid?
Find the surface area of each of the four triangular faces (they need not be the same) and sum the individual areas.
How do you find the area of one face when the total surface area is 96 cm?
Divide by the number of faces. For example, divide by 6 if it is a cube. Divide by 4 if it is a triangular pyramid.
How do you find the Surface area of pyramids?
The surface area of a pyramid is the area of all the faces of the pyramid, for a pyramid with apex in the centre and a regular polygon as its base, (the bottom of a pyramid is the base, it is regular if all sides are the same length) the surface area is: B + 1/2(P * H) where B is the area of the base, P is the perimeter (area around) the base and H is the height of the pyramid.
How to find the surface area of a triangular based pyramid?
Surface area of any pyramid is 1/2Pl + B; where P=perimeter of the base, l=slant height and B= Area of the base.
