Question

The slant height of a pyramid is the height of the pyramid.

• A. less than
• B. greater than
• C. equal to

Answer 1

The correct option is B greater than

Let the Slant height be h and the height be H.

Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get

$h^2=H^2+(\frac{\text{base edge}}{2}{)}^2$

We can clearly observe that the slant height of a pyramid is greater than the height of the pyramid.
