Answer to Problem 16CE

No, the height of a regular pyramid cannot be greater than the slant height.

Explanation of Solution

The height of the pyramid is the perpendicular distance of the top vertex to the base of the pyramid.

The perpendicular distance is always shorter than all other distances. The slant height of the pyramid is not the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the height of a regular pyramid cannot be greater than the slant height.
