A metalworker is creating decorative points in the form of triangular pyramids to go on top of a fence she is building. She wants to know the surface area of each pyramid. Use the surface area formula to find the surface area of each pyramid based on the figure.
The formula for the surface area of a triangular pyramid is:
Surface Area = 1/2 * Base Perimeter * Slant Height + Base Area
To find the surface area, we need to know the measurements of the base and the slant height of the pyramid.
Once we have that information, we can plug the values into the formula and calculate the surface area of each pyramid.
