    Answer:

    8 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Pythagorean theorem: the height of the pyramid, half of the base, and slant height make a right triangle

    s = 10 ft

    q = 6 ft

    h = ?

    s is the hypotenuse

    6^2+h^2 = 10^2\\\\36+h^2=100\\\\h^2=64\\

    take the square root of 64:

    h = 8
