Question
Write a program to calculate the surface area and volume of a square pyramid.
A square pyramid has a base that is square and all triangle faces are congruent isosceles triangles. (An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two of the sides are equal.
Length of the base: a
Height of the pyramid: h
Volume = a2h/3
Slant height, s = sqrt(h2 + (a/2)2) This is the Pythagorean Theorem part.
Area of one pyramid side = s*a/2
For this program you are to determine two things about a square pyramid.
1) the surface area of the four sides. 2) the volume. Do not include surface area of the base.
Test case 1: Height: 5.0' Base: 2.5'
Test case 2: Height 2.5 Base: 4.3'
The program asks the user to enter the pyramid height (in feet) and length of the base (in feet). Your program will need to determine surface area, and volume by using pythagorean theorem. Your output should neatly show the height, base, total surface area, and volume of the pyramid using 33 decimal place of accuracy for all values.
My calculations where completely different than the program. For volume I got 10.416. And for surface area I got 25.77. Did I do the calculations wrong or is the program wrong?
Here's my coding:
#Purpose: provides user capability to calculate
#volume of a pyramid
#import math<-- need to put math, infront of everthon
import math
name = input('Please enter your name:')
#Get base from user
base_Str = input('Please enter the length of base in feet:')
base= float(base_Str)
#Get height from user
height_Str = input('Please enter the height in feet:')
height= float(height_Str)
#Calculate volume
volume = base**2*height/3
#Calculate Slantheight
Slantheight = math.sqrt(height**2+(base/2)**2)
#Calculate Area
Area = (Slantheight*base/2)*4
Area1= Slantheight*base/2
Total_area = Area*4
#Display results
print('volume', volume)
print('Area', Total_area)

- n this lab, you complete a prewritten Python program for a carpenter who creates personalized house signs. The program is supposed to compute the price of any sign a customer orders, based on the following facts: The charge for all signs is a minimum of 35ドル.00. The first five letters or numbers are included in the minimum charge; there is a 4ドル charge for each additional character. If the sign is make of oak, add 20ドル.00. No charge is added for pine. Black or white characters are included in the minimum charge; there is an additional 15ドル charge for gold-leaf lettering.arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thanku Write a python program that does the following.
