A pyramid is a solid whose base is a plan figure, and whose sides are triangles uniting at a common point, called the vertex. If a straight line be drawn on one of the sides of a pyramid from the vertex so as to be perpendicular to one edge of the base, this line is called the slant height.

"The pyramids of Egypt are well entitled to a place among the most interesting curiosities in the world. The principal ones stand opposite Cairo, on the west side of the river Nile. They are built of stones, which overleap each other, and thus form steps from the bottom to the top. The perpendicular height of the largest is about 500 feet, and the area of its basis contains nearly 500,000 square feet, or something more than eleven English acres of ground."—Blake, 1825
