Question

Orginally each face of the pyramid shown to the. Right was a triangke withg the dimensions 109m and 190m . How far was a corner of the base from the pyramis top

Answer 1

219.05 m²

Explanation:

Dimension of right angle triangle : 109 m and 190 m

The right angle triangle has a height of 190 m and base length of 109 m

A corner of the base from the pyramid's top is equivalent to the hypotenus of the right angle triangle :

Let :

hypotenus = c ; base = b ; height = a

Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²

c² = a² + b²

c² = 190² + 109²

c² = 36100 + 11881

c² = 47981

c = sqrt(47981)

c = 219.04565

A corner of the base from the pyramid's top is 219.05 m²
