Question

A stainless steel patio heater is a square pyramid. The length of one side of the base is 24.2 in. The slant height of the pyramid is 92.5 in. What is the height of the​ pyramid?

Answer 1

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
