Question

5. What is the height of a pyramid (with a square base) whose side length is 12 cm and its slant

height is 10 cm?
a.) 22 cm
b.) 8 cm
d.) None of these
c.) 2 cm​

Answer 1

384

Explanation:

The formula for the volume is Area of Base * H / 3

The area of the base is 144

If you draw the height from the peak, you will get a right triangle with side length 6 and hypotenuse 10

Pythagorean Theorem, and the height is 8

144 * 8 / 3 = 384

Hope this helps.
