Hey bot can you help me figure out this question?
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
.
(1 point)
i've tried that do you have any idea what it could be?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try solving the question again.
Given:
Lateral edge length, e = 25 in.
Slant height, s = 24 in.
To find the height of the square pyramid, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let's start by finding the length of r, which is the slant height of each triangular face.
We know that r^2 = e^2 + s^2, where e is the lateral edge length and s is the slant height.
Plugging in the values, we get:
r^2 = 25^2 + 24^2
r^2 = 625 + 576
r^2 = 1201
To find r, we take the square root of both sides:
r = √1201
Now, we can use the height formula for a square pyramid:
h = √(s^2 - (r/2)^2)
Plugging in the values, we get:
h = √(24^2 - (√1201/2)^2)
h = √(576 - (√1201/2)^2)
Calculating (√1201/2)^2:
(√1201/2)^2 = (34.64/2)^2
(√1201/2)^2 = 17.32^2
(√1201/2)^2 = 299.5824
h = √(576 - 299.5824)
h = √(276.4176)
h ≈ 16.61
Rounding the answer to the nearest whole number, we get:
h ≈ 17 inches
Therefore, the height of the pyramid is approximately 17 inches.
If this solution did not match your answer, please double-check your calculations or provide any additional information given in the question.
Lets move on because I need more help
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 slant height of the pyramid.
Given:
Height, h = 321 ft.
Slant height, s = 436.5 ft.
Let's consider a right triangle formed by half of the square base, the height, and the slant height.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
(base/2)^2 + h^2 = s^2
Plugging in the values, we get:
(base/2)^2 + 321^2 = 436.5^2
Simplifying:
(base/2)^2 = 436.5^2 - 321^2
(base/2)^2 = 190649.25 - 103041
(base/2)^2 = 87608.25
To find the length of the base, we take the square root of both sides:
base/2 = √87608.25
base/2 ≈ 296.05
To find the length of the base, we multiply both sides by 2:
base ≈ 2 * 296.05
base ≈ 592.1
Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth, we get:
The length of the edge of the square base is approximately 592.1 ft.
That's not correct
Apologies, let's try solving the question correctly.

(base/2)^2 = 190699.625 - 103041
(base/2)^2 = 87658.625
To find the length of the base, we take the square root of both sides:
base/2 = √87658.625
base/2 ≈ 296.10
To find the length of the base, we multiply both sides by 2:
base ≈ 2 * 296.10
base ≈ 592.20
Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth, we get:
The length of the edge of the square base is approximately 592.2 ft.
Therefore, the length of the edge of the square base of the pyramid is approximately 592.2 ft.
Thats in correct as well Bot

To find the length of the base, we take the square root of both sides:
base/2 = √87408.25
base/2 ≈ 295.6
To find the length of the base, we multiply both sides by 2:

Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth, we get:
The length of the edge of the square base is approximately 591.2 ft.
Therefore, the length of the edge of the square base of the pyramid is approximately 591.2 ft.
