Because that makes it a pyramid. It it did not slant it would be a cube

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
What is the slant height of a pyramid that has all sides as equilateral triangles with sides of length of 9 cm and the surface area of the pyramid is 140.4 square cm?
The surface area of the pyramid is superfluous to calculating the slant height as the slant height is the height of the triangular side of the pyramid which can be worked out using Pythagoras on the side lengths of the equilateral triangle: side² = height² + (½side)² → height² = side² - ¼side² → height² = (1 - ¼)side² → height² = ¾side² → height = (√3)/2 side → slant height = (√3)/2 × 9cm = 4.5 × √3 cm ≈ 7.8 cm. ---------------------------- However, the surface area can be used as a check: 140.4 cm² ÷ (½ × 9 cm × 7.8 cm) = 140.4 cm² ÷ 35.1 cm² = 4 So the pyramid comprises 4 equilateral triangles - one for the base and 3 for the sides; it is a tetrahedron.
What is the slant height of the pyramid Louvre in Paris?
slant height of the pyramid Louvre in Paris=28 meters
The square base of pyramid has a side length of 230 m and the sides of the Pyramid meet the base at an angle which measuresapproximately 60 What is the sum of the height and slant height?
429 m
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are congurent?
false
What is the lateral area of a pyramid whose base is a square with sides measuring 16 meters and a slant height of 17 meters?
544 m2
What is a total area of a pyramid that has a square base with sides 8 and a slant height of 5?
A pyramid with these measurements are technically impossible to construct. However if you follow the formula the surface area would be a negative amount.
Why must a slant height of the pyramid be greater than the height of the pyramid?
Because the Hypotinuse is the sum of the square of the other two sides. The sum of the square of the base plus the square of the height equals the slope.
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are congruent true or false?
False...
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are equal true or false?
False
Slant height and the altitude of a pyramid are the same thing?
No.
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.
