I need to know how to find the slant height of a pyramid. It says in the text book, to find the slant height of a cone use the following formula: square root of the height^2 plus radius^2. A pyramid does not have a radius but it has an apothem which is the same thing as a radius, so would i use that instead of the radius? Please help.
