<p>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"?</p>
<p>This may be the most-discussed problem ever. No kidding, go to Google and start typing. You’ll get as far as “The pyramid shown…” and Google will recognize the rest, leading you to many threads including a bunch here at CC.</p>
<p>I second the above, and I often repeat the same advice to use the search functions for answers. </p>
<p>I remain amazed that so many seem to ignore the advice posted as a sticky on top of the forum. Not reading instructions is not the best way to prepare for the SAT … or take it!</p>
