The top of the pyramid is directly above the centre of the base. The great pyramid at Giza in Egypt has a square base and four triangular faces. The base of the pyramid is of side 230 metres and the pyramid is 146 metres high. slanted edge The top of the pyramid is directly above the centre of the base. (i) Calculate the length of one of the slanted edges, correct to the nearest metre.
