The Surface Area of a Pentahedron calculator computes the surface area based on the length of the sides of the base and the height.
INSTRUCTION: Choose units and enter the following:
- (a) Length of the Sides of Base
- (h) Height
Pentahedron Surface Area (SA): The surface area is returned in square meters. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The Pentahedron Surface Area equation computes the surface area based on the length of the uniform sides (a) and the height (h) from the base to the apex. The formula for the surface area of a pentahedron is:
`SA = a*(a + sqrt(a^2 + 4*h^2))`
where:
- SA = Surface Area of the Pentahedron
- a = length of the sides of the base
- h = height
