Use the image to answer the question below find the pyramids height
Bases eight on the side is 12 foot. The other side of the bottom is 6 foot.
To find the height of the pyramid, we first need to find the length of the height line from the top of the pyramid to the center of the base.
This length can be found by dividing the side length of the base by 2, giving us a length of 6 feet.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the pyramid. We know that the base of the triangle formed by the height line, half of the longer side of the base, and the height of the pyramid is 6 feet, and the other base of the triangle is 12 feet.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate:
(6^2) + (h^2) = (12^2)
36 + h^2 = 144
h^2 = 108
h = √108
h ≈ 10.39 feet
Therefore, the height of the pyramid is approximately 10.39 feet.
