✅ Thanks so much for watching! ✌ ✌ ✌
✅ Something to keep in mind... Adding the area of the base and the areas of all the lateral faces will work for any pyramid. The formula (SA = B + 1/2 x p x s) that is mentioned in the video only works for regular pyramids though (regular = all sides of the base are the same). For example, it works for square pyramids because all of the lateral faces are the same. For a counter example, this formula does not work for a rectangular pyramid because all of the lateral faces are not the same.

Our college math teacher is trying to push us to the class as fast as he can to get to the next semester and he doesn’t really go into detail about how to do any of these videos that you’ve made so you’re a literal lifesaver to my grades thank you! Please keep making these

Yes, I find typically Mr. J is much easier to comprehend than what is on my Moodle. Actually, some of his videos have been embedded to the page to supplement the ones that were made by the school.

it can be also

A= 6 in × 5 in
= 30 in² ÷2
= (15 in²) 4 (lateral face)
= 60 in²
BASE
A= 6 in × 6 in

how to find the area of a cylinder please tell

[@_its.stephanie.rose_]

This was the exact same problem as on my program -- School Yourself...

[@dipuhaldar9214]

Sorry MrJ, 5 is the slant height not height of the triangle. by pythagoras theorem, slant height 5 is hypotenuse of triangle with base 6, in this case we'll take it as 3 ,
then height will be h^2=5^2-3^2 =25-9=16,
h =√16=4.
then, area of one triangle will be =1/2×6×4=12.
area of 4 triangle=4×12=48.
now total surface area= 36+48=84 unit^2

[@wajnmountain]

Yeah, but it’s still a surface. It would be useful to find the height if you are trying to do volume, but not necessary for surface area.

[@darcyduncan4419]

Thank you Mr. Jay! You help me with my math so much!

[@samuelsierra1004]

The slanted height is not the same as regular height. You need to use Pythagorean theory to actually find the height.

[@urfavbrunette1011]

Im sorry but how did you get 36? Why did you do 6×6? Please reply my test is tomorrow I beg Mr.J

[@AlanMathew-sw6gw]

That because area is length *height. Here both length and height are 6 so id we multiply it we get 36
