If you are given the height and base of a pyramid, how would you get the slope of one of the triangular faces?

by using the Pythagorean theorem

 use the height and half the base dimension for the 2 edges of a triangle and the slope ( slant height) would be the hypotenuse

 so:  SQRT(height ^2 + half of base^2) = hypotenuse ( Slant height)

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
