Answer:

Explanation:

You can find the hieght from slant height and side edge using this formula:


\sqrt{s^(2) - (a)/(2)^(2) } where s is the slant height and a is the base length of one edge.


\sqrt{92.5^(2) - ((24.2)/(2) )^(2) }


√(8556.25 - 146.41)


√(8409.84)

91.705 in

can be rounded to 91.71 in
