Question
Hi Azeem
can you please helpt me. A petagonal based pyramid has a volume of 2756m^3. Determine the length of its apothem if it has a height of 26m and a side length of 12m
Hi Jamila!
I need you to specify which apothem. Are you referring to the non-base edges of the pyramid, or are you referring to the apothem of the pentagonal base? (I assume the pentagon is regular, so I won't question that.) Please ask a follow-up with this detail and I'll gladly help you.
Waiting to serve you,
Azeem
