Slant height and the altitude of a pyramid are the same thing?
No.
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are congruent true or false?
False...
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are equal true or false?
False
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?
False
What is the altitude of the triangular face of a pyramid called?
It sounds like you're looking for the slant height.
What is the slant height of the pyramid Louvre in Paris?

When you see a picture of a right pyramid with a regular polygon base how do you identify its height and its slant height?
Its vertical height is that of the perpendicular from the centre of the base to the apex; the slant height is the length of the sloping "corner" between two faces. The height of a regular pyramid is the vertical distance from the center of base to the top and is usually shown with a line perpendicular to the base, denoted with a right angle to the base. The slant height it the height of the lateral face (the triangles) from the edge of the base to the top of the pyramid. It is the height of the triangle, not the pyramid itself. The slant height will also be the hypotenuse of a right angle formed from the altitude of the pyramid and the distance from the center of the base to the edge.
What is the slant height of a square pyramid if the height is 24Cm and the base edges are 14Cm?
The slant height will be 25 cm
What is the height of the triangular faces of a pyramid called?
The height of the triangular face of a pyramid is called the slant height.
Is the height of a right pyramid longer than its slant height?
no
Is the lateral edge of a pyramid is also its slant height?
No, the slant height is the from the top vertex to the base of the base of the pyramid, it forms a 90 degree angle with the base and slant height. The lateral edge is literally the lateral (side) edge.
