Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is a. base

Step-by-step explanation:

The Base is the endpoint of the altitude of the regular pyramid. The altitude is the distance between the apex and the base of the pyramid. So, when altitude is to be found, the end point of the altitude will be at the base of the pyramid since the height is measured between the apex and the base.

A regular pyramid is a three-dimensional figure of one polygonal base and three triangular faces, which connect to a common point called the apex.

The triangular face forms the lateral face and it has two heights namely:

1. The slant height
2. Altitude

The slant height is the slant distance from the apex to the base of the pyramid along with the triangular edge whereas, the altitude or the height of the pyramid is calculated by measuring the perpendicular distance from the apex to the base.
