Find the slant height of a pyramid whose base length is 48 m and height is 7 m.

Question

Please show steps to help me understand. Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to make a drawing of this 3D geometrical object.  It will come down to a right triangle with base (inside the pyramid) length 24 m and height 7 m.  The hypotenuse is the slant height, and methinks that the 24-7-25 right triangle is the key to this question.
