Thanks Alan, that makes my life easier. (๑‵●‿●‵๑)
I thought I would play around with it and determine is this really is a rectangular pyramid. :)
If it is then the height given by one triangle must be equal to the height given by the other one.
$${\sqrt{{{\mathtt{23.7}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{{\mathtt{12.5}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}}} = {\mathtt{20.135\: \!540\: \!717\: \!845\: \!150\: \!5}}$$
$${\sqrt{{{\mathtt{22.9}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{{\mathtt{11}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}}} = {\mathtt{20.085\: \!069\: \!081\: \!285\: \!232\: \!2}}$$
Mmm it is a little off but I suppose it is correct to 0.1 of a foot. Is that near enough. Not sure. :/

Hi Everyone,
Our indefatigable answerers today were Alan, CPhill, Geno3040, Tetration, Saseflower, Rosala, Sasini, Labby, The JonyMyster, Ousmane108, CowgirlIAMS, Dominique9, Mailan3030, Mohamed Sabir and KawaiiKute. Thanks all, you are wonderful.
As you can all see our number of answerers is increasing all the time and some of these people answer a lot ot questions and they do it well. There is also a number of very proficient anonymous answerers. It would be really good if they joined up and then their skills could be properly recognised. (eg I would not need to spend so much time checking their answers) :/
