Answer:
A 6.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem states that to find the hypotenuse (c) in this case the slant height you use
[tex]c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]
1. ) Identify a & b
height 5
half of pyramid base 4.5
2. ) Plugin the values for a and b (2 shorter legs of a right triangle)
[tex]c=\sqrt{5^2+4.5^2}[/tex]
3. )Square
[tex]c=\sqrt{25+20.25}[/tex]
4. ) Add the terms inside the square root
[tex]c=\sqrt{45.25}[/tex]
5. ) Find the square root
[tex]c=6.726[/tex]
