Answer 1

A 6.7

Explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that to find the hypotenuse (c) in this case the slant height you use

`c=√(a^2+b^2)`

1. ) Identify a & b

height 5

half of pyramid base 4.5

2. ) Plugin the values for a and b (2 shorter legs of a right triangle)

`c=√(5^2+4.5^2)`

3. )Square

`c=√(25+20.25)`

4. ) Add the terms inside the square root

`c=√(45.25)`

5. ) Find the square root
