How to calculate the surface area of a pyramid in Python

Answer 1

import math

def surface_area_of_pyramid(side_length, height):
    surface_area = (side_length * side_length) + 2 * \
                   (side_length * math.sqrt(math.pow(height, 2) + 
                    math.pow((side_length / 2), 2)))
    return surface_area

side_length = 8.0
height = 14.0

print(surface_area_of_pyramid(side_length, height))
