Question : The total surface area of a regular triangular pyramid with each edge of length 1 cm is:
Option 1: $4 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 2: $\frac{4}{3} \sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 3: $\sqrt{3}$ cm2
Option 4: $4$ cm2
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{3}$ cm 2
Solution : A regular triangular pyramid, also known as a tetrahedron, has four equilateral triangles as its faces. The surface area of an equilateral triangle $ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2$ Since a regular tetrahedron has four faces. The total surface area is four times the surface area of one face $=4 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 = \sqrt{3} a^2$ Putting \(a = 1 \, \text{cm}\), The total surface area of a regular triangular pyramid $= \sqrt{3}$ cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is $ \sqrt{3}$ cm 2 .
