What is the height of a pyramid whose slant height is 26cm and base length is 48cm?

Question

Can anyone show me how to find the hypotenuse by Leg(a) and Leg(b)???

Answer 1

Base leg is half of the base length = 24 cm

Slant height is the hypotenuse

Since slant height is 26 cm can use Pythagorean to find the height:

hypotenuse = leg^2 + height^2

26^2 = 24^2 + height^2

height = 10 cm

Answer 2

hypotenuse is 26 cm

base leg is 24 cm
