The volume of a square pyramid whose slant height and base edge are each 10 ft long
may be expressed as V = γ√ρ/ρ ft.^2 where ρ is a prime number. Find γ - ρ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The base area is 10*10 = 100 ft^2.


The height of the pyramid is   =  =  = .


The volume of the pyramid is   =  ft^3.


So we have γ = 5, ρ = 3.  Therefore,  γ - ρ = 5 - 3 = 2.    ANSWER

Solved.
