Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A square-based pyramid has a base edge length of 6 cm and a slant height of 8 cm. Calculate its surface area using the net method.
[4 marks]2.
Construct the net of a pyramid with a square base of side 4 cm and a height of 6 cm. Label the slant edges.
[3 marks]3.
Calculate the total surface area of a regular triangular pyramid with a base side of 5 cm, each lateral face having a slant height of 6 cm.
[4 marks]4.
A pyramid has a rectangular base measuring 8 cm by 5 cm. Its slant height on the longer side is 7 cm. Find the surface area.
[3 marks]5.
Using the net method, explain why a pyramid with a larger slant height has a greater surface area, assuming base dimensions are constant.
[3 marks]6.
A student draws a net of a pyramid incorrectly, missing one of the triangular faces. What is the effect on the calculated surface area?
[2 marks]7.
Calculate the surface area of a square pyramid with base side 10 cm and slant height 12 cm.
[4 marks]8.
Construct a net for a pyramid with a triangular base where each side measures 6 cm, and faces are equilateral triangles. Label all edges.
[3 marks]9.
A pyramid has a base area of 36 cm^2, and each lateral face has an area of 18 cm^2. What is its total surface area?
[3 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake: a student calculates the surface area of a pyramid by summing only the lateral areas, ignoring the base.
[2 marks]11.
Calculate the surface area of a pyramid with a rectangular base 9 cm by 4 cm, and a slant height of 10 cm on the longer side.
