Calculate the slope of a pyramid with a run of 300m and a rise of 138m.

The slope of a pyramid, or any inclined plane, can be calculated using the formula for the slope:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \]

Given:
- Run (\(r\)) = 300 meters
- Rise (\(h\)) = 138 meters

Using the formula:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{138}{300} \]

Simplify the fraction:

\[ \text{slope} = \frac{138}{300} = \frac{23}{50} = 0.46 \]

Therefore, the slope of the pyramid is \(0.46\).
