SA+area of base plus 4*area of one of the faces
\n" ); document.write( "9*9=81 cm^2 for base
\n" ); document.write( "area of the face is a triangle with area=(1/2)bh=(1/2)9*19=171/2 cm^2
\n" ); document.write( "There are four of these faces, so their combined area is 342 cm^2
\n" ); document.write( "Total area is 423 cm^2
\n" ); document.write( "It is also the base area + (1/2) perimeter* slant length=81+36*19/2
\n" ); document.write( "=81+ 18*19=81+342=423 cm^2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
