What point on a cone is a vertex?
Because in math the definition for vertex is !the point of a geometric figure that is opposite the base. So in this case, the point is the vertex.
What is the distance from the vertex of a regular pyramid to the midpoint of an adage of the base?
The distance from the vertex of a regular pyramid to the midpoint of an edge of the base can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. If the height of the pyramid is ( h ) and the distance from the center of the base to the midpoint of an edge is ( d ), then the distance ( D ) from the vertex to the midpoint of the edge is given by ( D = \sqrt{h^2 + d^2} ). This applies to regular pyramids where the base is a regular polygon. The specific values of ( h ) and ( d ) depend on the dimensions of the pyramid and its base.
How do you find the altitude outside of a triangle?
The altitude of a triangle is the distance from the line containing the base to the vertex. Draw the base and continue on outside of the triangle. Measure perpendicular from that line to the vertex.
How are pyramids and cones alike?
they all have a vertex, or a point, and one base. :-D
Which term describes the single point positioned opposite the base in a pyramid?
vertex
