The height of a pyramid is taken to be the vertical distance from the centre of the base, to the tip of the pyramid. I.e Not the slope height, which will be longer than the vertical height. If you're asking about the height of an actual pyramid in Egypt, they vary a lot. They're not all a standard size.
