Calculate Slant Height



Formula

The formula to calculate the Slant Height is:

\[ \text{L} = \sqrt{\text{H}^2 + \left(\frac{\text{S}}{2}\right)^2} \]

What is Slant Height?

The slant height is defined as the total length from the center of a side, traveling along the surface of a side, to the top of the pyramid or cone.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Slant Height (L):

\[ \text{L} = \sqrt{10^2 + \left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^2} = \sqrt{100 + 16} = \sqrt{116} \approx 10.77 \text{ units} \]

The Slant Height is approximately 10.77 units.
