The Muttart Conservatory has four
pyramids. Two pyramids have a square
base with sides 20.5 m long. They are
19.0 m high.
B
18.0 m

19.5 m A
Judy calculated the angle of elevation of
each face of the pyramid. Is her solution
reasonable?
AB²+ BC² = AC²
19.5² +19.5² = AC²
27.577... = AC, or AC = 27.577... m AP is half of AC.
