Find the slant height of the square pyramid. Round to the nearest whole inch, if necessary.
Without any given dimensions or information about the pyramid, it is impossible to determine the slant height.
To find the slant height of a square pyramid, we need to know the length of one of the sides of the square base and the height of the pyramid.
Let's assume the length of one side of the square base is represented by the variable 's', and the height of the pyramid is represented by the variable 'h'.
The slant height, denoted by 'l', can be calculated using the formula:
l = √(s² + h²)
To find the slant height, you need to know the values of 's' and 'h'.
Please provide the values of the side length and the height of the pyramid, so we can proceed with the calculation.
To find the slant height of a square pyramid, you'll need the length of one side of the base and the height of the pyramid.
Let's assume the length of one side of the base is 8 inches.
Let's also assume the height of the pyramid is 10 inches.
The slant height can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:
slant height = √(base length/2)^2 + height^2
Substituting the values we have:
slant height = √(8/2)^2 + 10^2
= √(4)^2 + 100
= √16 + 100
= √116
≈ 10.77 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the slant height of the square pyramid is approximately 10.77 inches.
