<li>The pyramid shown above has altitude h and a square base of side m. The four edges that meet at V, the vertex of the pyramid, each have length e. If e = m, what is the value of h in terms of m?</li>
</ol>

<p>Here is my work: <a href=“http://i51.■■■■■■■.com/25kuc6x.png[/url] ”>http://i51.■■■■■■■.com/25kuc6x.png</a></p> ;
<p>And yes, like Xiggi said, it is from the SAT Blue Book Math Help thread. :)</p>
<p>lol I failed :(. I assumed that point h was in the center of the pyramid and proceeded on a very roundabout way to calculate h in terms of m.</p>
<p>Thank you SilverAurora and xiggi :).</p>
<p>Alright i se now thankls a lot both of you but SilverAurora yours helped a lot thanks man.</p>
