A pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with side lengths of 4 and a slant height of 6. Find the lateral area of the pyramid.

A. 144 sq. units
B. 48√(10) sq. units
C. 72 sq. units

Respuesta :

72sq. units lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Answer:

Option C is correct

the lateral area of the pyramid is, 72 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area(S) of the pyramid is given by:

[tex]S = 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base} \cdot \text{Slant height})[/tex]

As per the statement:

A pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with side lengths of 4 and a slant height of 6.

⇒[tex]s = 4[/tex] units, slant height = 6 units

Substitute in [1] we have;

[tex]S = 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 6 = 72[/tex] square units

Therefore,  the lateral area of the pyramid is, 72 sq. units
