Today, the Great Pyramid at Giza near Cairo, Egypt stands 137 meters tall, coming to a point.Its base is a square with each side
measuring 230 meters wide. What is the slope of the pyramid?
1 answer:
Hope you can see the picture and understand the drawings.
It can seem complex at first but you just have to think it through.
I use pythagoras' theorem to find the diagonal of the base square and then use that information along with the height with the aid of that ever so handy pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the slope.

Answer:
Option 4 is correct. The length of PR is 6.4 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given figure it is noticed that the triangle PQR and triangle MQR.
Let the length of PR be x.
Pythagoras formula
Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQM.
The value of PM is 10. The length of PR is x, so the length of MR is (10-x).
Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQR.
.....(1)
Use pythagoras formula for triangle MQR.
.... (2)
From equation (1) and (2) we get
Therefore length of PR is 6.4 units and option 4 is correct.
