Well, the lateral edges are equal to the height. Use the pathogorean theorem using a^2+b^2=c^2.

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 is the lateral surface area of a cone with a base of 20 and a slant of 5?

The slant height cannot be larger than the base radius.


What is the Lateral area of a cone base 4 meter and slant height 15 meter?

The lateral area is 188.5 m2


What is the slant height of a cone formula?

The "slant height" is called the lateral height.There is no formula. However, if you find the radius of the base and the height of the cone, you can form a triangle. Now use the Pythagorean theorem. Radius2 + height2 = lateral height2.

What is the lateral area of a pyramid?

1/2 times the perimeter of the base times slant height


What is the lateral area of a right circular cone if the diameter of the base is 4 m and the slant height of the cone is 15 m?

The lateral area of a right circular cone with a base diameter of 4 m and a slant height of 15 m is: 94.25 m2


How do you find the slant height of a hexagonal pyramid give the height is 13.75 and the lateral edge is 15?

use formula bh/2. Substitute base with 15 and height with 13.75 and divide the product by two. That is the slant height.


Surface area of a pyramid?

(1/2 B)h another way is Lateral area + base area. Lateral area is 1/2 perimeter*slant height. You use this if you dont know the height but know the slant. or if you just like to do it this way


What is the lateral area of a right circular cone if the diameter of the base is 4 meters and the slant height of the cone is 15 meters?

Lateral area is 188.5 m2


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.
