Question 1159674

{{{L = a*sqrt(a^2 + 4h^2)}}}


given:

{{{LA= 1776in^2}}}

base edges are {{{a=24in}}}


{{{1176= 24*sqrt(24^2 + 4h^2)}}}


{{{1176/ 24=sqrt(576 + 4h^2)}}}

{{{49=sqrt(576 + 4h^2)}}}.......square both sides

{{{49^2=576 + 4h^2}}}

{{{2401-576 = 4h^2}}}

{{{1825 = 4h^2}}}

{{{h^2=1825/4}}}

{{{h^2=456.25}}}

{{{h=sqrt(456.25)}}}

{{{h=21.360009363293827}}}

{{{h=21.36in}}}
