A stainless steel patio heater is a square pyramid. The length of one side of the base is 24.4 in. The slant height of the pyramid is 90.4 in. What is the height of the pyramid?

89.57in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Slant height of the pyramid l = 90.4in

Length of one side of the base b =24.4in

Required

Height of the pyramid H

To get the height we will use the Pythagorean theorem as shown

l² = h²+(b/2)²

Substitute the given values

90.4² = h²+(24.4/2)²

90.4² = h²+12.2²

h² = 90.4²-12.2²

h² = 8023.32

h = √8023.32

h = 89.57in

Hence the height of the pyramid is 89.57in

b is the answer that makes most sense
