A pentagonal pyramid has a lateral area of 300 in2, where the perimeter of the base is 40 in. Determine slant height.

Whatever It Takes To Help
Picture a 5-same-sided bottom topped by 5 identical isosceles triangles. Both the given area and perimeter can be divided by 5 to get the area and base of one triangle. The slant height can be found by dividing the area of one triangle by half of its base.

there are 5 pyramids
each pyramid has an area of 300/5=60 sq in
the perimeter is 40 in
each base of each pyramid has a length of 40/5=8 in
A=(1/2)bh
A=(1/2)*8*h where h=slant height
60=(1/2)*8*h
60=4*h
h=60/4
h=15 in
