If there is a picture, it would be very useful, because the height and slant height are two sides of a right triangle.

A good picture would show that the bottom side of this triangle is half the side length of the square. This is a leg of the right triangle: A=12'

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the slant height: C=46'

The "unknown" height is the other leg of the right triangle: B=?

The pythagorean theorem A2+B2=C2 gives 144sqft+B2=2116sqft

Solving for B gives B=44.4'

Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 44.4 feet.
