The distance from the apex to the base of a pyramid is known as the altitude.

altitude
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.)
A pyramid has a rectangular base measuring 6'x4' If its altitude is 8' what is its volume

Altitude
False
A pyramid has a total of four altitudes: one from each vertex of the base to the apex, and one from the apex perpendicular to the base. Each altitude represents the height of the pyramid from that vertex to the apex, with the base being the polygon that forms the bottom of the pyramid. The altitude is essential for calculating the volume and surface area of the pyramid.
