If a pyramid has an octagon for a base how many lateral faces does it have?
8
How many faces does an octagonal pyramid have?
8 lateral faces and a base
What is the lateral area of a rectangular pyramid?
Find th elateral area of a rectangular pyramid having height 9 , base lenght 6 and base width 7
What happens to the lateral sides of a pyramid when the height of the pyramid is increased and the size of the base is decreased?
The lateral sides get taller and narrower. (:
What is a prism that has lateral edges perpendicular to its base?
rectangular parallelepiped.. :)
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.
What Has a base that is a polygon the lateral faces are triangle?
a pyramid
How many lateral faces does a square pyramid have?
Lateral faces are the number of faces excluding the base. Since the square is the base, the other 4 sides will each be touching a lateral face to form a square pyramid (or it wont be a pyramid). So, there are 4.
If the height increases what happens to the lateral sides of a pyramid when you decrease the size of the base?
The lateral sides of a pyramid are going to be more steep if the size of the base is decreased. The pyramid will not be stable enough to stand on its own.
A square base pyramid has no perpendicular edges?
Correct
Does a square based pyramid have no perpendicular edges?
It does: on its base.
How many planes of symmetry does a rectangular pyramid have?
Two.
How To find out the Volume of a triangular based pyramid?
You have to find out the area of the base which you find out with perpendicular height times base then time that by the perpendicular height of the pyramid and divide it by 3
What is lateral faces?
The lateral face for a prism or pyramid is any edge or face which is not part of a base.
What is the slant height of a square pyramid?
The slant height of a square pyramid is always perpendicular to the base. It is form the top vertex all the way down to the most center of one side of the base edge.
