Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a square pyramid with labeled parts. The left, front, and right faces of the pyramid and base are visible. The back face is not visible, but its position is indicated by a dashed line. The back base edge is not visible, but its position is indicated by a dashed line. The left base edge is labeled a. The back left lateral edge is labeled e. A dotted line extends from the interior of the vertex straight down to the center of the base and is labeled h. A right angle is indicated where the dotted height line meets the base. Another dotted line extends from the center of the base where the height line meets to the center of the right base edge and is labeled r. A dotted line extends from the right base edge straight up the center of the right face of the prism and meets the height line at the vertex. The dotted slant height line is labeled s.
For the square pyramid, the lateral edge length, e , is 25 in., and the slant height, s , is 24 in. Find the height of the pyramid, h . Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Hint: Before finding the length of h , you will first need to find the length of r
.
The height of the square pyramid is how many inches?
Apologies for the error in calculations.
To find the length of r, we need to make 49 positive. Taking the square root of both sides, we have:
r = √49
r = 7
Now that we have the length of r, we can find the height of the pyramid.
From the image, we can see that the right triangle formed by the height line, r, and s is a right triangle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height, h.
h^2 = s^2 - r^2
h^2 = 24^2 - 7^2
h^2 = 576 - 49
h^2 = 527
Taking the square root of both sides, we have:
h = √527
h ≈ 22.98
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the height of the square pyramid is approximately 23 inches.

A square pyramid is shown. Its height is shown with a dotted line labeled 321 feet. Its slant height is shown with a dotted line labeled 436.5 feet. The variable l is shown along one of the edges of the square base.
The Pyramid is an arena in Memphis, Tennessee. Its height is 321 ft., and its slant height is 436.5 ft. Find the length of the edge of the square base. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
To find the length of the edge of the square base, we can use the height and the slant height of the pyramid.
Let's label the length of the edge of the square base as "l".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can relate the height, slant height, and length of the edge:
l^2 = s^2 - h^2
Plugging in the values we have:
l^2 = (436.5 ft)^2 - (321 ft)^2
l^2 = 190440.25 ft^2 - 103041 ft^2
l^2 = 87424.25 ft^2
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for l:
l = √87424.25 ft^2
l ≈ 295.4 ft
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the edge of the square base of the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, is approximately 295.4 feet.

Apologies for the incorrect response again. Let's try another approach to find the correct length of the edge of the square base.
We can use the height and slant height of the pyramid to find the length of the edge.
Let's label the length of the edge of the square base as "l".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can relate the slant height, height, and half the length of the edge:
l^2 = s^2 - h^2
Plugging in the given values:
l^2 = (436.5 ft)^2 - (321 ft)^2
l^2 = 190440.25 ft^2 - 103041 ft^2
l^2 = 87,399.25 ft^2
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for l:
l = √87,399.25 ft^2
l ≈ 295.5 ft

Apologies for the confusion caused by previous incorrect responses. Let's find the correct length of the edge of the square base of the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.
Let's label the length of the edge of the square base as "l".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can relate the height, slant height, and length of the edge:
l^2 = s^2 - h^2
Plugging in the given values:
l^2 = (436.5 ft)^2 - (321 ft)^2
Calculating this equation:
l^2 = 190440.25 ft^2 - 103041 ft^2
l^2 = 87424.25 ft^2
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for l:
l = √(87424.25 ft^2)
l ≈ 295.4 ft
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the edge of the square base of the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, is approximately 295.4 feet.
