anonymous · Answer

slant height should be greater than the height

i m not sure but it may be sqrt(1828)

can you double check?  @suzy4321

anonymous · Answer

the im confused im doing 46^2 and 12^2 
what shd i be doing

anonymous · Answer

@dplanc same i have said

anonymous · Answer

46^2 -2(12^2)  (consider the diagonal of the square base)

dumbcow · Answer

@suzy4321 , you are correct, just subtract them
$$h = \sqrt{46^{2} -12^{2}}$$

dumbcow · Answer

@matricked , the slant height normally refers to length from top to midpoint of base edge not too corner so you don't have to worry about the diagonal
