10. Step 2 Find the length of the apothem and the area of the base.
Surface Area of a Regular Pyramid
Step 2 Find the length of the apothem and the area of the base.
A central angle of the hexagon is or 60°, so the angle formed in the triangle is 30°.
______
360° 6

11. tan 30° = Write a trigonometric ratio to find the apothem a.
Surface Area of a Regular Pyramid
tan 30° = Write a trigonometric ratio to find the apothem a.
a = Solve for a.
a ≈ 9.0 Use a calculator.
A = Pa Area of a regular polygon
≈ (62.4)(9.0) Replace P with 62.4 and a width 9.0.
≈ Multiply.
So, the area of the base is approximately cm2.

18. Find the surface area of the cone. Round to the nearest tenth.
Surface Area of a Cone
Find the surface area of the cone. Round to the nearest tenth.
Estimate: S ≈ 3 ● 1.5 ● ● 2 or 19.5 cm2
S = rℓ + r2 Surface area of a cone
= (1.4)(3.2) + (1.4)2 r = 1.4 and ℓ = 3.2
