Chapter 12.2, Problem 14WE

To determine

To draw: the square pyramid.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A square pyramid with base edge $16$ and lateral edge $17$ .

Graph: since, A square pyramid base edge $16$ and lateral edge $17$ .

Now to draw pyramid, first draw a parallelogram for the base and sketch diagonals and then draw a vertical segment at the point where the diagonal intersect and then join the vertex to the base vertices,

Thus, the pyramid can be obtained as:

  

Interpretation: form the above graph and base edge and lateral edge it can be observed that the lateral area, total area and volume of pyramid are $480,736\text{ and }\frac{256\sqrt{161}}{3}$ .
