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

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.

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.


Explain how the altitude of a right cone is related or not related to the slant height of the same cone.?

The altitude of a right cone is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex, while the slant height is the distance from the apex to any point on the edge of the base along the cone's surface. These two measurements are related through the Pythagorean theorem; if the radius of the base is known, the slant height can be calculated using the formula ( l = \sqrt{h^2 + r^2} ), where ( l ) is the slant height, ( h ) is the altitude, and ( r ) is the radius of the base. Thus, while they are distinct measurements, the altitude and slant height are interconnected through the geometry of the cone.
