It depends on what information you do have - including whether or not it is symmetrical.
If you don't have any information you can measure the height.
If it is large enough and you cannot climb up it, you can measure its length, the angles made by the lines of sight to its top relative to the horizontal from two points on opposite sides of the pyramid and carry out some trigonometric calculations.

Find the lateral area of a regular pentagonal pyramid that has a slant height of 14in and a base side length of 6 in?
210 in 2
How do you find the volume of a sqare pyramid?
Volume of a squared based pyramid: 1/3*base area*height
What is the volume of a triangular pyramid?
v=1/3 A x H = 1/3 (1/2 b x h) x H For a regular pyramid, find the volume by multiplying the base area by the height by 1/3. The base area is 1/2 of the (base times the apex height) of the base
Can you stack a regular pyramid?
Yes. You can stack a regular pyramid.
How do i find the total area of pyramid?
first find the area of the base. then multiply it by the height and divide it by three.
How do you find the perpendicular height of a square based pyramid?
To find the perpendicular height of a square pyramid, first compute for the volume of the pyramid. Then divide the volume by the area of the base to find pyramid's height.
The volume of a regular pyramid with a square base of 8cm and a slant height of 5 cm?
The volume of a regular pyramid with a square base of 8cm and a slant height of 5 cm is: 64 cm3
In the equation for the lateral area of a regular pyramid one can replace the slant height with the altitude of the pyramid?
False
Find the lateral area of a regular pentagonal pyramid that has a slant height of 14in and a base side length of 6 in?
210 in 2
What is the slant height VP in the regular pyramid below?
The answer is given below.
How do you find lateral area of a pyramid?
If it is a regular pyramid you need to find out the base perimeter, multiply it by the height of the sides (when considered as triangles) and divide by two. The height of the side can be found using Pythagoras's formula if you know the height of the pyramid and the length of a side. The side height of a pyramid is also known as the slanted height or L in a formula. Formula:permiter of base x L(side height) ( P of B)(L) p x L(slant) ----------------------------------------- = --------------------- 2 2 Good luck!
How do you find the height of a square pyramid?
There are quite a few ways you could find the height of a square pyramid. You could measure the sides for example.
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
Where can you find the height of a rectangular pyramid?
we can find the height of a rectangular pyramids located at the top of the base
How do you find the volume of a pentagonal pyramid?
Basically, the same as the volume of any other pyramid: the volume is (1/3) x base x height. The "base" refers to the area of the base; for instance, if the base is a regular pentagon, use the formula for a regular pentagon.
What is the surface area of a regular pyramid with side length 8 and slant height 9 the number of the side of the base is given by 3?
Such a pyramid cannot exist. If it is a regular pyramid with side length 8, its slant height MUST be less than 8. In fact, it is approx 6.39.
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.
