In the rectangular pyramid below, l = 16 inches, w = 12 inches, and h = 15 inches
What is the length of s?
A. 22 inches
B. 19 inches
C. 17 inches
D. 13 inches

C. 17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of s

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a is 1/2 l

a = 1/2 (16) = 8

b = h = 15

c =s

8^2 + 15^2 = s^2

64 +225 = s^2

289 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(289) = sqrt(s^2)

17 = s

C. 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

s is the slant height

Using the right angle triangle with base L/2 and height h, find s

L/2 = 16/2 = 8

8² + 15² = s²

s² = 289

s = 17

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
