Height of Square Pyramid given Total Surface Area Calculator

Calculate Height of Square Pyramid





Formula

The formula to calculate the Height of Square Pyramid (h) is:

\[ h = \sqrt{\left(\frac{TSA - le(Base)^2}{le(Base)}\right)^2 - le(Base)^2 \over 4} \]

Where:

Definition

The Height of Square Pyramid is the length of the perpendicular from the apex to the base of the Square Pyramid.

Total Surface Area of Square Pyramid is the total amount of two-dimensional space occupied on all the faces of the Square Pyramid.

Edge Length of Base of Square Pyramid is the length of the straight line connecting any two adjacent vertices of the base of the Square Pyramid.

How to calculate Height of Square Pyramid

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ h = \sqrt{\left(\frac{420 - 10^2}{10}\right)^2 - 10^2 \over 4} \]

Evaluating:

\[ h \approx 15.1986841535707 \]

The Height of Square Pyramid is approximately 15.1986841535707 Meters.
