Can we make a square pyramid with the lateral surface area equal to the base area?

Answer»

Curved surface area = 2al

Area of base = a2

a2 = 2al

a = 21 ⇒ 1 = a/2

For making a square pyramid first we must determine its base, one side of the lateral will be the base. Other two sides make half of base by reducing the angle. That is angle at apex will be less than 90°.
