If the base of a Pyramid has an area of 144sq ft And if the slant higher of the pyramid is 10ft what would be the higher of the pyramid

the height of the pyramid is 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the base of the pyramid to be square whose area is 144 sq ft

This means the side of the base would be √144 = 12 ft.

Now, if you will imagine a pyramid we can easily observe that

Height(H) , slant height( L=10 ft) and half of the side length( 6ft) make a right angle triangle. We can easily calculate height from Pythagoras theorem as

10^2 = H^2 +6^2

⇒ H^2 = 10^2-6^2 = 100-36 = 64

⇒ H = 8 ft

Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 8 ft
