Angular mountain peak with three or more arêtes found in glaciated areas; for example, the Matterhorn in Switzerland. It is formed when three or four corries (steep-sided hollows) are eroded, back-to-back, around the sides of a mountain, leaving an isolated peak in the middle.

What word means the same as apex?
Depending on how you use it, another word for it could be vertex, like in an isosceles triangle, or peak, if used in a pyramid.
How do you find slant height of a triangular pyramid?
Use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 a = sqrt (c^2 - b^2) Where: a=the height (pyramid height from base to peak) b=the base length c = the hypotenuse (slant) length
