For the pyramids to fit into the cube, their vertex will be at the centre of the cube
Length of side of cube = h
The bases of the pyramids equal the base of the square
From one end of the cube to the other, we will have two pyramids, meaning, the height of the cube will be twice the height of the pyramid
Height of pyramid = h/2
Length of side of cube = h
The bases of the pyramids equal the base of the square
From one end of the cube to the other, we will have two pyramids, meaning, the height of the cube will be twice the height of the pyramid
Height of pyramid = h/2
