Answer to Problem 17PSB

The altitude PY of a square pyramid is 4 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Perimeter of the base =24

Formula used:The below theorem is used:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides”.

In right angle triangle,

  a2+b2c2

Calculation:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 9.8, Problem 17PSB , additional homework tip  2

If P =24,each base edge is equal to 6.

  YR=12ID=3

Side PY can be calculated by applying Pythagoras Theorem.

In right angle triangle PYR , we get

  (PR)2=(YR)2+(PY)2(5)2=(3)2+(PY)225=9+(PY)2PY=4
