Answer:

  6.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the original pyramid be represented by h. Then the cut off top has a height of (h -2). The scale factor for the area is the square of the scale factor for height, so we have ...

  (height ratio)^2 = 1/2

  ((h -2)/h)^2 = 1/2

  (h -2)√2 = h . . . . . . square root; multiply by h√2

  h(√2 -1) = 2√2 . . . . add 2√2 -h

  h = (2√2)/(√2 -1) ≈ 6.8284 . . . units

The altitude of the original pyramid is about 6.83 units.
