I can solve it, but I can't see the image you mentioned. Could you either upload the image or type the labeled dimensions from the diagram (base side length, slant height or slant edge length, and which segment is labeled)?
Method you'll use (so you can check while you upload):
- If the slant length given goes from the apex to the midpoint of a base side (the face slant height l), and the base side is s, then h = sqrt(l^2 − (s/2)^2).
- If the slant length given goes from the apex to a base corner (the lateral edge e), and the base side is s, then the horizontal distance from center to corner is s√2/2 and h = sqrt(e^2 − (s√2/2)^2).
Send the labels and I’ll compute h and pick the correct rounded answer.
