The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In the case of a square pyramid, the height (h) can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem with the base length (b) and the slant height (l). The slant height is the distance from the apex (top) of the pyramid to the center of one of the base's sides.
The equation for the Pythagorean theorem in this case would be:
h² = l² - (b/2)²
To determine the height (h), we need to know the slant height (l) and the base length (b). Without those values, we cannot provide an answer.
Apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the height of the square pyramid, h. Round the answer to the nearest tenth
