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.

What is the surface area of a regular pyramid with side length 8 and slant height 9 the number of the side of the base is given by 3?
Such a pyramid cannot exist. If it is a regular pyramid with side length 8, its slant height MUST be less than 8. In fact, it is approx 6.39.
Is the total area of the lateral faces of a pyramid greater than the area of the base?
Yes, it must be.
How do you change the height of a square pyramid so that its volume would remain the same when the area of the base is tripled?
It must be made a third of its current value, ie divided by 3. The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 x area_base x height. The 1/3 is constant; to keep the volume constant as the base_area changes, the height must vary inversely. If the base_area is tripled, ie multiplied by 3, the height must be reduced to a third, ie divided by 3.
To find the surface area of a three-dimensional figure you must find the perimeter of a face and then multiply it by the height.?
That is not true: for a pyramid, for example.
What is the formula for a right square pyramid?
If you mean, to calculate the volume, for ANY pyramid, and for cones as well, the formula is: V = (1/3)Bh, that is 1/3 times the base area, times the height. The height must be calculated perpendicular to the area that contains the base.

What is the surface area of a right cone with a slant height of 6 and a radius of 9?
These dimensions are not possible for a right cone. The radius must be less than the slant height. If we reverse the dimensions (radius 6, slant height 9) the total surface area will be about 282.74 units2

How many faces has an octagonal pyramid?
An octagonal pyramid has nine faces. It also has nine vertices and 16 edges. You can find the volume of this pyramid by using the formula that the base 'B' multiplied by the height 'h' must be divided by three.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a pyramid?
The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 times the base area times the height V = (1/3)Bh The height must be perpendicular to the plane of the base. As a matter of interest, this is the same formula as the one used for a cone.

What is the formula in getting the bas and the height of a pyramid?
Base: Depending on the shape of the base, use the formula for a square, a regular polygon, etc. Height: This must be measured (or calculated) perpendicular to the base.
How do you convert 156 cm for baggage?
Length + Width + Height must not be greater than 156 cm
How do you slant numbers on your laptop?
You must press Ctrl + I. It will italicize everything.
Why are the pylons on which electricity cables are hung very tall?
To ensure that the minimum height of their conductors maintain the legally-required clearance above ground. The greater the operating voltage, the greater this clearance must be.
