The slant height in a rectangular or square pyramid is the height from the apex straight down to the base of the triangular face where it forms a right angle. This can be visualized as the height from the top of the pyramid to the midpoint of one of its base edges. To find the slant height, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let's say the height of the pyramid is h and the length of the base edge is b. The slant height, s, can be calculated using the formula s = √(h^2 + (b/2)^2).
