\n" ); document.write( "a square pyramid has a height of 1.5 inches, a slant height of 3.9 inches and a volume of 25.92 inches cubed.
\n" ); document.write( "to the nearest square inch, what is the lateral surface area of the pyramid?

\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  Divide the volume of the pyramid by the height and multiply by 3.\r\n" );
document.write( "    You will get the area of the base:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    A =  = 51.84 square inches.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Take the square root of the area of the base to get the length of the edge at the base \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     =  = 7.2 inches.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  Calculate the area of one lateral face, which is a triangle:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    S =  = 14.04 square inches.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4.  Multiply it by 4 to get the full lateral surface, consisting of 4 faces:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    4*14.04 = 56.16 square inches.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5.  It is your answer.\r\n" );
