To find the length of the edge of the square base of the pyramid, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The formula is: l^2 + h^2 = s^2, where l is the length of the edge of the square base, h is the height, and s is the slant height.
In this case, we know that h = 321 ft. and s = 436.5 ft.
Substituting these values into the formula:
l^2 + (321 ft.)^2 = (436.5 ft.)^2
l^2 + 103,041 ft.^2 = 190,522.25 ft.^2
l^2 = 190,522.25 ft.^2 - 103,041 ft.^2
l^2 = 87,481.25 ft.^2
To find l, take the square root of both sides:
l = √(87,481.25 ft.^2)
l ≈ 295.9 ft.
Therefore, the length of the edge of the square base is approximately 295.9 feet.
