#24 can someone help me?

Answer 1

Answer:

A  6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that to find the hypotenuse (c) in this case the slant height you use

$c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

1. ) Identify a & b

height 5

half of pyramid base 4.5

2. ) Plugin the values for a and b (2 shorter legs of a right triangle)

$c=\sqrt{5^2+4.5^2}$

3. )Square

$c=\sqrt{25+20.25}$

4. ) Add the terms inside the square root

$c=\sqrt{45.25}$

5. ) Find the square root

$c=6.726$
