Surface Area of a Square Pyramid Calculator

Surface area of a square pyramid calculator is used to calculate a square pyramid's surface area. Surface area of a square pyramid formula is show below on how to find the surface area of a square pyramid.

Surface area of a square pyramid formula

Surface area of a square pyramid formula is SA=L²+2L√(L²/4+H²), where
L=length
H= height is the height from apex to the end of pyramid
Square pyramid is solid three dimensional object, its a pyramid with square base. It has five sides, a square surface and four triangle surfaces which makes it a pentahedron. To find the surface area of a square pyramid, we calculate its base area of square L² and then add the area of four triangles 2L√(L²/4+H²).

How to find the surface area of a square pyramid

Following is how to calculate surface area of a square pyramid with base length 2 and height 1.5.
Surface Area = 2 x 2 + 2 x 2 x √( 2 x 2/4+ 1.5 x 1.5) ≈ 11.21
