Prove that in any square pyramid, the squares of the height, slant height and lateral edge are in arithmetic sequence.

Answer»

Height = h,

Slant height = l,

Lateral edge = e

\(l^2=h^2+(a/2)^2-(1)\)

\(l^2=e^2-(a/2)^2-(2)\)

(1) + (2) : 2l2 = h2 + e2

\(l^2=\frac{h^2+e^2}{2}\)

∴ (h2, I2, e2) are in arithmetic sequence.
