    Surface Area of Pyramid Formula

    Result

    1/4 n s (sqrt(4 h^2 + s^2 cot^2(π/n)) + s cot(π/n))≈0.25 n s (sqrt(4 h^2 + s^2 cot^2(3.14159/n)) + s cot(3.14159/n)) (assuming n base vertex count, base edge length s, and height h)

    Visual representation

    (drawn with base edge length 1, 5 base vertex count, and height 2)
