Chapter 8.7 SURFACE AREA of PYRAMIDS

Good Evening to all,
Tonight's homework is very similar to last night's work.  We are looking at the SURFACE AREA of pyramids today.  
Surface Area is the total area of all the faces and bases 
of the pyramid.  
You must find the LATERAL SURFACE AREA- lateral face- 
of each face. 
 Another vocabulary word is SLANT HEIGHT.  This is the height of each lateral face. ( Make sure you define these words in your reference spirals. ) 
 To find the area of each face of a pyramid, you find the area of the triangle using the slant height.  Add all the faces along with the base for the surface area.

Another furball of fun.  This pup belongs to Georgia.  My heart is melting!

Homework: Watch the videos, take notes in your reference spirals.
As always in MATH,
Mrs M
