Because that makes it a pyramid. It it did not slant it would be a cube
This pyramid would have a perpendicular height of 3, a volume of 64 units3 and a slant edge of 6.403
In the formula for the surface area of a pyramid, "L" typically stands for the slant height of the pyramid. The slant height is the distance from the apex of the pyramid to the midpoint of a side of the base, measured along a triangular face. It is crucial for calculating the area of the triangular faces that make up the sides of the pyramid.
The surface area of the pyramid is superfluous to calculating the slant height as the slant height is the height of the triangular side of the pyramid which can be worked out using Pythagoras on the side lengths of the equilateral triangle: side² = height² + (½side)² → height² = side² - ¼side² → height² = (1 - ¼)side² → height² = ¾side² → height = (√3)/2 side → slant height = (√3)/2 × 9cm = 4.5 × √3 cm ≈ 7.8 cm. ---------------------------- However, the surface area can be used as a check: 140.4 cm² ÷ (½ × 9 cm × 7.8 cm) = 140.4 cm² ÷ 35.1 cm² = 4 So the pyramid comprises 4 equilateral triangles - one for the base and 3 for the sides; it is a tetrahedron.

544 m2
Because the Hypotinuse is the sum of the square of the other two sides. The sum of the square of the base plus the square of the height equals the slope.
A pyramid with these measurements are technically impossible to construct. However if you follow the formula the surface area would be a negative amount.
