Types of Pyramids
There are many types of Pyramids, and they are named after the shape of their base.

The general equations for Surface Area and Volume of Pyramids when all
side faces are the same:

Slant Surface Area = [Base Area] + Perimeter

________
x [Slant Length]
Height 2
Length

Volume = 1_3 x [Base Area] x Height
