The question just says "How do you find the height of a triangular pyramid?"
and that's it, but none of the answer choices say "With a transit and a tape measure."

The answers are:
A. By solving the problem
B. Finding the area and the last number should be the height
C. Finding the area and the 3rd number should be the height
D. Finding the area and the 4th number should be the height
A. By solving the problem
B. Finding the area and the last number should be the height
C. Finding the area and the 3rd number should be the height
D. Finding the area and the 4th number should be the height
I think that the answer would be B, because A is completely not the answer, the 3rd number would be whatever the length is, and the 4th number would be whatever the width is.
You do not have the information necessary to solve the problem.
Wait wdym by "You do not have the information necessary to solve the problem." ??
it is the area of the base * 1/3 the height
Wait.. shouldn't the answer be B because what I have heard in math class is that the formula to finding the volume of a triangular pyramid is 1/3 (1/2 * length * width) * height, and I am in honors math class so I am sure this is right.
The last number would be the height because
1/3= basically 1st number
1/2= 2nd number
Length= 3rd number
Width= 4th number
Height= 5th number
1/3= basically 1st number
1/2= 2nd number
Length= 3rd number
Width= 4th number
Height= 5th number
Uhmmmm... idk what to do rn
Alex should be right because I also have honors math class and that is what my teacher taught me about the formula of a triangular pyramid.
Okay, I think I will trust Alex then because Anonymous isn't answering anymore.
Nvm, I could just wait for anonymous.
Sorry but I'm going to have to just guess now.
Hello! The triangular pyramid height can be calculated if the apothem (or slant height) of the side and the base are known.
I hope this helped and have a wonderful day and sorry this is late!!
Thank you for trying to help, but you really didn't have to, this question was just to see what people would do basically, I am not trying to cheat or anything, but thank you anyways for helping!
Sorry for wasting your time :(
