The three lateral edges of a pyramid based on a square are 6016, 2370 and 4350 long. Calculate the length of the fourth lateral edge. We assume that edges 6016 and 2370 extend from the opposite tops of the base.

To calculate the length of the fourth side edge of a shape, you will need to know the lengths of the other three sides. You can then use the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²) to find the length of the fourth side.
No, it is not possible to calculate the length of the fourth side edge without knowing the lengths of the other three sides. The Pythagorean theorem requires all three sides to find the length of the fourth side.
The Pythagorean theorem can only be used to find the length of the fourth side edge if the shape is a right triangle. If the shape is not a right triangle, a different formula or method will need to be used to find the length of the fourth side edge.
No, the Pythagorean theorem can only be used to find the length of the fourth side edge of a right triangle. For other shapes, different formulas or methods will need to be used.
The accuracy of the calculation will depend on the accuracy of the measurements of the other three sides. If the measurements are precise, the calculation of the length of the fourth side edge will also be precise. However, if the measurements are not accurate, the calculation will also be inaccurate.
