To find the missing height in this pyramid, we will use the Pythagorean theorem.

The base of the pyramid is one side of a right triangle formed by the height of the pyramid, the base of the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of the pyramid. Let's label the height as h, the base as 40 ft, and the hypotenuse as 25 ft.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

(40)^2 + h^2 = (25)^2
1600 + h^2 = 625
h^2 = 625 - 1600
h^2 = 375
h ≈ 19.37 ft

Therefore, the missing height of the pyramid is approximately 19.37 ft.
