Square Pyramid

A square pyramid is a three-dimensional solid with a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex or vertex. The base of the square pyramid is a square, and the four triangular faces extend from the four edges of the base to the apex.

To find the surface area of a square pyramid, you can use the formula:

Surface Area = Base Area + (1/2) * Perimeter of Base * Slant Height

Where the base area is the area of the square base, and the slant height is the height of one of the triangular faces from the base to the apex.

The volume of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height

Where the base area is the area of the square base, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex.

Understanding the properties and formulas of a square pyramid can help in solving problems related to its surface area, volume, and other geometric properties.
