Final answer:
If you were standing on the 50th step of the pyramid, you would be approximately 13.185 meters above the ground, calculated by finding the height per step and multiplying by the number of steps climbed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The task is to calculate how high above the ground you would be if you were standing on the 50th step of a pyramid that has a temple approximately 24 meters above the ground with a total of 91 steps leading up to the temple. To solve this, we will assume that the height the steps cover (24 meters) is evenly distributed across the number of steps (91). So, each step represents 24 meters divided by 91 steps in height.
First, let's calculate the height of each step:
Height per step = Total height / Number of steps
Height per step = 24 meters / 91 steps ≈ 0.2637 meters per step
Next, we need to calculate the height at the 50th step:
Height at 50th step = Height per step * Number of steps climbed
Height at 50th step = 0.2637 meters per step * 50 steps ≈ 13.185 meters
Therefore, if you were standing on the 50th step, you would be approximately 13.185 meters above the ground.
