How Pyramid Surface Area Calculator works

Find total area of a closed right square pyramid.

All lengths must use the same unit. Area uses squared units and volume uses cubed units. Finite real inputs; output uses up to 12 significant digits. Floating-point results may be rounded. Apex is directly above the square centre. Face slant height is √(height² + (edge/2)²). Finite real inputs; output uses up to 12 significant digits. Floating-point results may be rounded.
