Question

All the edges of a square pyramid are equal. Find the ratio of its slant height and height

Answer 1

Answer:

Slant Height of a square pyramid:

By the pythagorean theorem we know that.

s2 = r2 + h. ...

since r = a/2.

s2 = (1/4)a2 + h2, and.

s = √(h2 + (1/4)a2)

This is also the height of a triangle side.
