The Washington Monument is $\"\"$ tall and weighs $\"\"$ .

The monument is topped by an aluminum square pyramid.

The sides of the pyramids base measure $\"\"$ , and the pyramid is $\"\"$ tall.

Find the slope that a face of the pyramid makes with its base.

$\"\"$ .

Consider the ordered pairs $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$ (Formula for slope)

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Simplify)

Therefore, the slope is $\"\"$ .

So, the slope that a face of the pyramid makes with its base is about either $\"\"$ or $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

The slope that a face of the pyramid makes with its base is $\"\"$ .
