4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is v=1/3bh.

V is the volume of the shape

1/3 is just a rational number or fraction.

b is the area of the base shape of the 3d shape

h is the height of the shape (slant height).

The general formula for the volume of all shapes is V=Bh

V is the volume

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism.

In this case, we have a pyramid, so let's use the formula V=1/3Bh.

We know what the volume so 48=?

We can put 1/3 so 48=1/2 times ? times ?.

The base shape of this pyramid is a square, and it has an edge of 6 inches. We need to find the area of that square because it is the area of our base. the formula for finding the area of a square is A=S squared.

A is the area of the shape

S is the side length.

The reason why it is squared is because all sides of a square are equal to each other. Since the base edge is 6 inches, the other edges are 6 inches as well. There are 4 edges in a square.

A= 6 times 6.

A=36.

We have the area of the base, so we can put 48=1/3 times 36 times ?.

We are finding what the slant height is, so let's put the letter "h" to represent the slant height.

Now, 48=1/3 times 36 times h.

All we have to do is solve for h.

First we have to simplify one side of the equation.

To simplify, we have to do 1/3 times 36, or you can do 36 divided by 3. It is your choice. 36 divided by 3 is 12.

Now we have 12h=48.

Isolate h by dividing both sides by 12. 12h divided 12 is h. 48 divided by 12 is   4.

Therefore h=4 inches. The reason we divide both sides is because we have to do the inverse operation of the original equation. For instance 12h=48. To get to 48, you do 12 times h. We take the inverse (opposite) operation of multiplication (division). That will isolate for h.

The slant height of this square pyramid is 4 inches.

Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day!

step-by-step explanation: the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen (french: déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789), set by france's national constituent assembly in 1789, is a human civil rights document from the french revolution.[1]

the declaration was drafted by the abbé sieyès and the marquis de lafayette, in consultation with thomas jefferson.[2] influenced by the doctrine of "natural right", the rights of man are held to be universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself. it became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law. it is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the fourth french republic (1946) and fifth republic (1958) and is still current. inspired by the enlightenment philosophers, the declaration was a core statement of the values of the french revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in europe and worldwide.[3]

the 1789 declaration, together with the 1215 magna carta, the 1689 english bill of rights (1689), the 1776 united states declaration of independence, and the 1789 united states bill of rights, inspired in large part the 1948 united nations universal declaration of human rights

sas (side angle side)

aa (angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas find two sides with an angle in between

aa is finding two angles and the third will add up to 180

sss find all sides
