22.4 in.
16.8 in.
The slant height is
inches.

Answer 1

The slant height is 28 inches

Explanation:

The slant height of a pyramid

Given a square base pyramid of side 2a and height h, the slant height is calculated as follows:

`s=√(a^2+h^2)`

The attached image shows the relationship between the lengths.

There is no specific information about the dimensions provided in the question, but I'm assuming this:

h = 22.4 in

a = 16.8 in

The slant height is:

`s=√(16.8^2+22.4^2)`

`s=√(784)`

s = 28 in

The slant height is 28 inches
