The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are equal true or false?
False
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
How many equal side does a pyramid have?
A pyramid does not need to have any equal sides. A REGULAR pyramid has as many equal sides as the number of sides on the base. So, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) will have 3 equal faces, a square based pyramid will have 4, etc.
What is a quadrilateral a pair of parallel and a pair of equal sides?
A quadrilateral has four sides that may or may not be equal or parallel If two sides are parallel and the other sides equal but not parallel it is a trapezoid
Does the parallel side of a trapezoid equal?
No, the parallel sides of a trapezoid are not equal.
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are equal true or false?
False

What is the vertical cross section of a cylinder?
The vertical cross section of a cylinder is a rectangle. It is created by slicing the cylinder along a plane parallel to its base. The resulting shape will have the same height as the cylinder but a width equal to the diameter of the base.
How many equal side does a pyramid have?
A pyramid does not need to have any equal sides. A REGULAR pyramid has as many equal sides as the number of sides on the base. So, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) will have 3 equal faces, a square based pyramid will have 4, etc.
Is the altitude of an equilateral triangle equal to a side length?
No. The altitude is smaller.
What is a quadrilateral a pair of parallel and a pair of equal sides?
A quadrilateral has four sides that may or may not be equal or parallel If two sides are parallel and the other sides equal but not parallel it is a trapezoid
Does the parallel side of a trapezoid equal?
No, the parallel sides of a trapezoid are not equal.
What is the volume of a right pyramid whose base is a square with a side of 6 m long and whose altitude is equal to the base side?
Volume pyramid = 1/3 x base_area x height = 1/3 x (6m x 6m) x 6m = 72m3.
How heavy is a pyramid stone?
A typical stone block used in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza would weigh around 2.5 tons on average. However, the exact weight can vary depending on the size and location of the stone within the pyramid.
Why cabin altitude is not equal to actual altitude?
Because the cabin inside the plane is pressurized?
Which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?
When standard atmospheric conditions exist.
Does a trapezium have any equal sides?
It can do. The non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezium will be equal. Also, one of the non-parallel sides could be equal to one of the parallel sides.
