Take out Notes

Take out HW from yesterday, dont turn in !

Warm-up
Find the surface Area

Surface Area of Pyramids,

Cones, and Spheres

Key Definitions
Pyramid a polyhedron in which the
base is a polygon and the lateral faces
are triangles with a common vertex.
Vertex of the Pyramid The intersection
of all the lateral faces.
Regular Pyramid A regular polygon
as the base and the segment joining the
vertex and the center of the base is
perpendicular to the base.
Slant Height The height of the lateral

face, .

A regular square pyramid has a height of 15

centimeters and a vase edge length of 16
centimeters. Find the area of each lateral face of
the pyramid.

Now we can find the area of one

Need to find the slant height

4) = 544 cm2

l = 17 cm
l = 17 cm
b = 8 bcm
= 16 cm

A regular hexagonal pyramid and its net are shown.

Let s represent the length of a base edge, and let l
represent the slant height of the pyramid. This will
help find the surface area of the pyramid.
Lateral Area =
Lateral Area =

Lateral Area =
We represent the area of the base by B

Surface Area of Regular Pyramid

B = Area of base
P = Perimeter of base

l= Slant height

Example 1a
B=
B=
B=
P = 60

l = 14

Example 1b
B=
B=
B=
P = 40

l = = 7.3

Key Definitions
Cone A solid with a circular
base and a vertex not in the
same plane as the base
Right Cone When the segment
joining the vertex and the
center of the base are
perpendicular.
Lateral Surface all segments
connecting the base to the
vertex.

When you cut along the slant height

and base edge and lay it flat, the net
of the cone looks like the shape
below.

Surface Area of Right Cone

B = Area of Base (circle)

r = Radius of Base

Example 2a
r=6

r = 5.7

l =8.88

Example 4 you try!

LA = = 1177.5 yd2
SA = = 1884 yd2

Key Definitions
Sphere the set of all points in space
equidistant from a given point.
Center The point the set of points are
equidistant from.
Radius A segment from the center point to
a point on a sphere
Chord A segment whose endpoints are on
the sphere
Diameter A chord that contains the center
Great Circle When you intersect a plane with
the sphere, the plane intersects the center
of the sphere.
Hemisphere Every great circle separates the
shape into two congruent halves.
