Height of pyramid = h slant height = l base side = a = 6 inch volume = 48 cubic inch volume of pyramid = 1/3 a^2 h 48 = 1/3 times (6)^2 times h h = 48 times 3/36 h = 4 inches slant height of square pyramid l = squareroot h^2 + (a/2)^2 = squareroot 4^2 + (6/2)^2 = squareroot 4^2 + 3^2 = squareroot 16 + 9 = squareroot 25 l = 5 inches
