The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?

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.)

Slant height and the altitude of a pyramid are the same thing?
No.
What is the slope height formula?
It is a modified version of the Pythagorean theorem instead of a^2+b^2=c^2 it is h^2+r^2= l^2 where h is height r is radius and l is slant height This is the same thing for slant height for pyramid except instead of radius, it is 1/2 the base
Is there such thing as a triangular pyramid?
Yes there is a such thing as a triangular pyramid.
Is there such a thing as a rectangular pyramid?
yes there is such a thing
Is there a such thing as a 3 sided pyramid?
Yes, it is called a tetrahedron or a triangular pyramid.

What is diffference between attitude and altitude?
attitude is some thing that depends on mind of a person. altitude is some thing that says about appearance of a thing. for example height.
Is altitude a noun?
Yes, altitude is a noun, a singular common noun, a word for measurement in height in relation to sea level or the ground; altitude is a thing.
A right circular cylinder has a volume of 500 cu in if the base has a radius of 4 in what is the altitude of the cylinder?
The volume of a right circular cylinder is found by using this formula: V=pi/4*r2*height Note: In this case, altitude and height are the same thing. Fill in the measurements you are given and solve. 500 = (3.14)(4)2(height) 500 = (3.14)(16)(height) 500 = (50.24)(height) height = approximately 9.95 inches
