In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?

False


Is a pyramid regular?

No a pyramid is triangular


What are the examples of regular solids?

Regular solids are solids where all of the angles and faces are congruent. A die or cube is an example of a regular solid, specifically a regular square prism. A regular triangular pyramid would be a pyramid with a triangular base where each of the three sides of the pyramid were identical to the triangle on the base.


How do you solve the Surface area of a regular pyramid?

There is no "regular pyramid". There are triangle pyramids, square pyramids, pentagon pyramids, etc. With the information given in your question, there is no way to answer.


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.
