To find the slant height of an object (frustum or pyramid) you take the distance measured along a lateral face from the base to the apex along the centre of the face or in other words it is the altitude (height) of the triangle comprising a lateral face. (Kern and Bland 1948,p 50)

How do you find the slant height of a cone if you have the lateral area and slant height?
Why do you need to FIND the slant height if you have the [lateral height and] slant height?
How do you find slant height?
the slant height is always 2 units bigger then the height
How do you find the slant height of a solid?
(slant height)2= (height)2+(1/2 side)2
Why is it helpful to know the slant height of a pyramid to find its surface area?
Knowing the slant height helps because it represents the height of the triangle that makes up each lateral face. So, the slant height helps you to find the surface area of each lateral face.
Find the length of the slant height of a cone with a radius of 15cm and a surface area of 1884cm square?
Slant height is 39.98 cm
How do you find the height of a cone if you have the slant height and the radius?
Assuming it is a right cone, use Pythagoras - slant height = hypotenuse, other two sides = radius of base, and height.
How do you find the height of a cone if you have the slant height and the diameter?
The height would be The square root of the square of the slant surface length minus the square of the radius of the cone at the base.
How do you find the slant height of a a pyramid?
I don't know not mine
How do you do slant height?
the slant height is always 2 units bigger then the height
How do you find the length of a pyramid when you know the height and slant height?
By using trigonometry or Pythagoras' theorem
Is slant height greater than the height?
Its slant height is bigger. Think of it as a triangle: the hypotenuse is always the largest side, and the slant height is like the hypotenuse.
Which is bigger a pyramids height or its slant height?
Its slant height is bigger. Think of it as a triangle: the hypotenuse is always the largest side, and the slant height is like the hypotenuse.
