To find the slant height of the square pyramid, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The slant height can be found by finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the width and mid length as the other two sides.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
slant height^2 = width^2 + mid length^2
slant height^2 = 16^2 + 15^2
slant height^2 = 256 + 225
slant height^2 = 481
Taking the square root of both sides, we have:
slant height = √481
Therefore, the slant height of the square pyramid is approximately 21.93 units (rounded to two decimal places).
