Square Pyramid formulas
$$ V = \frac{a^2 \, h }{3} $$
volume
$$ A_{base} = a^2 $$
base area
$$ A_{lat} = 2 \times a \times h $$
lateral area
$$ A_{tot} = A_{base} + A_{lateral} $$
total area
$$ r = \frac{a}{2} $$
base radius
$$ s^2 = h^2 + \frac{a^2}{4} $$
slant height
$$ e^2 = s^2 + \frac{a^2}{4} $$
lateral edge
$$ e^2 = h^2 + \frac{d^2}{4} $$
lateral edge
