To find the slant height of a square pyramid, you typically use the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height (l) is the hypotenuse of a right triangle where one leg is the height (h) of the pyramid and the other leg is half the length of the base (b/2).
The formula is:
\[ l = \sqrt{(h^2 + (b/2)^2)} \]
However, since the specific dimensions of the pyramid are not provided in the question, I can't compute the exact slant height.
Based on the options provided (14, 8, 289, 17), if you have the height and base length from your calculator or reference sheet, you can calculate the slant height using the formula above, then compare it with the given options.
If you know the values for height and base or if there are any additional details in your materials, please use those to find the correct answer! If you share the dimensions, I can help you compute it.
