To find the length of the base of the square pyramid, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem.
According to the given information, the vertical side of the right triangle (the height of the pyramid) is 35 mi, and the slanted side (the slant height of the pyramid) is 37 mi.
Let's label the length of the base of the triangle as x. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
x^2 = 37^2 - 35^2
x^2 = 1369 - 1225
x^2 = 144
x = √144
x = 12
Therefore, the length of the base of the square pyramid is 12 miles.
