Question

V- ABCD is a regular square pyramid. Find the following numerical answers.

$OM=\_\_\_$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The length of OM is $6\text{\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}unit}$.

Step 1. Given information.

The given$V-ABCD$ is a regular square pyramid.

Also,$AB=12$ and$BC=12$ .

Step 2. Determine the value.

The edge length of square base is 12 and height of pyramid is 8.

The length of$OM$ can be calculated as:

$\begin{array}{c}OM=\frac{1}{2}AB\\ =\frac{1}{2}\left(12\right)\\ =6\end{array}$

 

Therefore, the length$OM$ of is 6 unit.
