The height of a square pyramid is 24 cm. Find the slant height if the base edges are 14 cm.
(See answer below)

25cm
the distance of the highest point and the base surface eqal 24
the horizontal distance of the side and the highest point
= 14/2=7
according to the ''Pythagorean theorem''
7^2+24^2=25^2
so the slant height is 25 [ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071005060637AA52wpg ]
