Depends on the angle between the side and the base. The smaller the angle the larger the height.

What is the slant height of a square pyramid?
The slant height of a square pyramid is always perpendicular to the base. It is form the top vertex all the way down to the most center of one side of the base edge.
What is slant edge of a cone?
slant edge is a height of a cone
What is the volume of a square pyramid with height of 3.25 yd and a base edge of 5.5 yds?
5.5^2*3.25/3
Find the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 21 feet and a height of 18 feet?
Volume of this pyramid is (area of base) x (height) / 3. The area of the base (square) is (edge)2 So (21 ft)2 * (18 ft)/3 = 26586 cubic feet
What is lateral faces?
The lateral face for a prism or pyramid is any edge or face which is not part of a base.
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.
A pyramid has a square base with sides 8 and a slant height of 5?
This pyramid would have a perpendicular height of 3, a volume of 64 units3 and a slant edge of 6.403
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.
What is the slant height of a square pyramid?
The slant height of a square pyramid is always perpendicular to the base. It is form the top vertex all the way down to the most center of one side of the base edge.
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.
How do you find lateral area of a square pyramid?
You need some information about the height of the pyramid and the formula will depend on whether you have the vertical height or the slant height or the length of a lateral edge.
What is the height of the pyramid 56 cubic centimeters base edge 8 centimeters base height 7 centimeters?
Volume of a pyramid = 1/3*base area*height Height of a pyramid = (3*volume)/base area
What is slant edge of a cone?
slant edge is a height of a cone
How do you find the lateral area and the surface area when you have the slant height and the radius and the base edge?
3
How do you find slant height given base edge and lateral edge?
Well, the lateral edges are equal to the height. Use the pathogorean theorem using a^2+b^2=c^2.
What is the volume of a square pyramid with height of 3.25 yd and a base edge of 5.5 yds?
5.5^2*3.25/3
How many edges does a suare base pyramid have?
There are 5 edge (also known as vertices) on a square-based pyramid. 4 on the base and the last edge on the top of the pyramid.
