am in a 3d coordinate system; I got the points 0(0,0,0) C(0,6,0) F(0,0,3) P(x,6,0) together these points form a pyramid. The given volume for the pyramid is 9 VU (volume units). V = 1/3 * Ag * h V = 9, h = length of F = 3 LU (Length units) 9 = 1/3 Ag * 3 9 = Ag line 0C and CP form a right angle, so Ag is 1/2 * a * b 9 = 1/2 a * b for b i set length of 0C = 6 LE 9 = 1/2 * a * 6 3 = a now with length of a line: 3 = sqrt( (x-0)^2 + (6-6)^2 + (0-0)^2 ) 9 = x^2 x = +/- 3
