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.

I apologize for the previous incorrect responses. Let's try to find the correct length of the edge of the square base.
Using the given values, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the edge.
Let's label the length of the edge of the square base as "l".
We have the height (h) = 321 ft and the slant height (s) = 436.5 ft.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write:
l^2 = s^2 - h^2
l^2 = (436.5 ft)^2 - (321 ft)^2

change all subtraction to addition
Apologies for the previous incorrect responses. Let's correct the calculations using addition instead of subtraction.
Using the given values, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the edge.
Let's label the length of the edge of the square base as "l".
We have the height (h) = 321 ft and the slant height (s) = 436.5 ft.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write:
l^2 = s^2 + h^2
l^2 = (436.5 ft)^2 + (321 ft)^2
Calculating this equation:
l^2 = 190440.25 ft^2 + 103041 ft^2
l^2 = 293481.25 ft^2
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for l:
l = √293481.25 ft^2
l ≈ 541.4 ft
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the length of the edge of the square base of the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, is approximately 541.4 feet.
A juice can is in the shape of a cylinder. It has a height of 122 mm and a diameter of 52 mm. What is the longest straw that can fit completely inside the juice can diagonally? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
step by step bot
Certainly! Here are the step-by-step instructions to find the length of the longest straw that can fit completely inside the juice can diagonally:
1. Obtain the dimensions of the juice can: The height of the can is given as 122 mm, and the diameter is given as 52 mm.
2. Calculate the radius of the can: Divide the diameter by 2. In this case, the diameter is 52 mm, so the radius will be 52 mm / 2 = 26 mm.
3. Use the Pythagorean theorem: The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
4. Identify the sides of the right-angled triangle: In this case, one side is the radius of the can (26 mm), and the other side is the height of the can (122 mm).
5. Square the length of the radius and the height: Calculate the square of the radius: (26 mm)^2 = 676 mm^2, and the square of the height: (122 mm)^2 = 14884 mm^2.
6. Add the squared values together: Add the squared radius (676 mm^2) and the squared height (14884 mm^2) to get the sum of 15560 mm^2.
7. Take the square root: Take the square root of the sum calculated in the previous step. In this case, the square root of 15560 mm^2 is approximately 124.8 mm.
8. Round the answer: Round the length of the longest straw to the nearest tenth: 124.8 mm.
Therefore, the length of the longest straw that can fit completely inside the juice can diagonally is approximately 124.8 mm.
To find the height of the pyramid, we first need to find the length of r.
From the image, we can see that the slant height, s, is 24 in. We can also see that the length of e is 25 in.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of r:
r^2 = s^2 - e^2
r^2 = 24^2 - 25^2
r^2 = 576 - 625
r^2 = -49
Since a length cannot be negative, we have made an error in our calculations. Therefore, it is not possible to find the length of r.
Without the length of r, we cannot find the height of the pyramid.
To find the length of the longest straw that can fit completely inside the juice can diagonally, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The diameter of the can is 52 mm, so the radius (r) will be half of that, which is 26 mm.
The height of the can is 122 mm.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the diagonal (d) inside the can:
d^2 = r^2 + h^2
Plugging in the values we have:
d^2 = (26 mm)^2 + (122 mm)^2
d^2 = 676 mm^2 + 14884 mm^2
d^2 = 15560 mm^2
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for d:
d = √(15560 mm^2)
d ≈ 124.8 mm
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the longest straw that can fit completely inside the juice can diagonally is approximately 124.8 mm.
