Triangular pyramid

It is given perpendicular regular triangular pyramid: base side a = 5 cm, height v = 8 cm, volume V = 28.8 cm3. What is it content (surface area)?

Correct result:

S =  71.79 cm2

Solution:

a=5 cm h=8 cm V=28.8 cm3  h1=a2−(a/2)2=52−(5/2)2≐4.3301 cm S1=a⋅ h12=5⋅ 4.33012≐10.8253 cm2    h22=h2+(h1/3)2 h2=h2+(h1/3)2=82+(4.3301/3)2≐8.1292 cm  S2=a⋅ h22=5⋅ 8.12922≐20.3229 cm2  S=S1+3⋅ S2=10.8253+3⋅ 20.3229≐71.7941=71.79 cm2   Verifying Solution:  V2=13⋅ S1⋅ h=13⋅ 10.8253⋅ 8≐28.8675 cm3 V2=V
