Question

Find the height.

Answer 1

I get rt27.

Answer 2

solve the triangle: 6^2=h^2 + (3sqrt2)^2

Answer 3

\[\sqrt{27}?\]

Answer 4

hmmm maybe i'm wrong, i got somethin diffnt...
i got 3sqrt2

Answer 5

how?

Answer 6

the base is a square side 6 so the diagnol of that square is 6sqrt2 (45-45-90 triangle)
half of that is 3sqrt2. the slant going up to the vertex of the pyrmid is 6 (that's your hypotenuse). the third side is the height, h.
so 6^2=h^2 + (3sqrt2)^2 is what i used to find h.

Answer 7

Don't you need to split the triangle?
