How to Calculate Surface Area of a Square Pyramid Using Slant Height

The Organic Chemistry Tutor

A clear, step-by-step mathematics tutorial demonstrating how to calculate the total surface area of a square-based pyramid. The video specifically addresses the more complex scenario where the vertical height is known, but the slant height must be derived first. The narrator uses a digital blackboard to sketch the figure, label dimensions, and work through the calculations in real-time.
