Sample questions

1. A square pyramid has base side 6 cm and each triangular face has perpendicular height 6 cm. Draw a net and calculate surface area.
2. Four triangular panels with base 4 cm and height 8 cm form a pyramid-shaped roof without a base panel. Find the panel area. How much would adding a square base increase it?
3. A student computes only the four triangular faces and calls that the total surface area. Explain which face is missing and find the full area in square centimeters.
