Answer:
9.48
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question
<em>A stainless steel patio heater is a square pyramid. The length of one side of the base is 89.6 The slant height of the pyramid 90.1. What is the height of the pyramid?</em>
To get the height of the pyramid, we will use pythagoras theorem.
slant height l is the hypotenuse
length of the base is the adjacent
height of the pyramid is the opposite
According to the theorem;
l² = h² + b²
90.1² = h² + 89.6²
8,118.01 = <em>h²+</em>8,028.16
h²= 8,118.01 - 8,028.16
h² = 89.85
h =√89.85
h = 9.48
Hence the height of the pyramid will be 9.48
<em>Note that the value of the slant height was assumed to solve the problem</em>.
