The complete question is,
The temple at the top of the pyramid is approximately 24 meters above the ground, and there are 91 steps leading up to the temple. How high above the ground would you be if you were standing on the 50th step?
From given we have,
The temple at the top of the pyramid is 24 meters above the ground.
There are 91 steps leading up to the temple
⇒ 91 steps = 24 meters
⇒ 1 step = 24/91
∴ 1 step = 0.2637 meters.
Now consider,
50th step.
As the steps start from ground and the temple as well, so we have,
As, 1 step = 0.2637 meters.
50 steps = 50 × 0.2637
= 13.18 meters
Therefore, if we are standing on the 50th step, we will be 13 meters above the ground.
