For the square pyramid the lateral edge length is 25 in. and the slant height is 24 in. Find the height of the pyramid Round the answer to the nearest whole number. The height of the square pyramid is?

Answer 1

To find the height of the square pyramid, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The lateral edge length is 25 in, and the slant height is 24 in. Let the height of the pyramid be represented by "h".

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

25^2 = h^2 + 24^2

625 = h^2 + 576

h^2 = 625 - 576

h^2 = 49

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

h = sqrt(49) = 7

Therefore, the height of the square pyramid is 7 inches.
