Formulas for the pentagonal pyramid


Slant height (\(\small{s}\))

\(\displaystyle s = \sqrt{h^2 + \frac{a^2 · cot^2(\frac{π}{5} )}{4}} \)

Edge length (\(\small{b}\))

\(\displaystyle b =\sqrt{s^2 + \frac{a^2}{4}}\)

Base area (\(\small{A}\))

\(\displaystyle A = \frac{5 · a^2 }{ 4 · tan(\frac{π}{5}) } \)

Slant area (\(\small{A_s}\))

\(\displaystyle A_s = \frac{a · s }{ 2} \)

Lateral Surface (\(\small{A_L}\))

\(\displaystyle A_L = \frac{ 5 · a · s }{ 2} \)

Surface area (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S = A+ A_L \)

Perimeter (\(\small{P}\))

\(\displaystyle P = 5 ·a \)

Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V = \frac{A · h}{3} \)
