Answer:

The corner of the base is 705.72 feet from the top of the pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find out the length of the hypotenuse

[tex]c^{2}=a^2+b^2[/tex]

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs of the right triangle  (perpendicular sides)

In this problem we have

[tex]a=604\ ft\\b=365\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]c^{2}=604^2+365^2[/tex]

[tex]c^{2}=498,041[/tex]

[tex]c=705.72\ ft[/tex]

therefore

The corner of the base is 705.72 feet from the top of the pyramid
