To find the surface area of this solid, use the area formulas for a
1
bh). Find the areas of
rectangle (A = w) and a triangle (A = _
2
the five faces and then find the sum of the areas.
Below are two pyramids and their nets. To find the surface area
of these polyhedrons, you would again use the area formulas for
1
a rectangle (A = w) and a triangle (A = _
bh).
