Answer:
<em>AD is 6.5 units</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached.
From the diagram, you can see that the dotted triangle is a right angled triangle with side AD as the hypotenuse.
To get AD, we will use the pythagoras theorem as shown;
Hyp² = Opp² + Adj²
AD² = 6²+2.5²
AD² = 36 + 6.25
AD² = 42.25
AD = √42.25
<em>AD = 6.5</em>
<em>Hence the measure of length segment AD is 6.5 units</em>
<u>Given</u>:
The length of DE is 8 cm and the measure of ∠ADE is 60°.
We need to determine the surface area of the pyramid.
<u>Length of AD:</u>
The length of AD is given by
Length of AD = 8 cm
<u>Slant height:</u>
The slant height EF can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.
Thus, we have;
Thus, the slant height EF is 4√3
<u>Surface area of the square pyramid:</u>
The surface area of the square pyramid can be determined using the formula,
Substituting the values, we have;
The exact form of the area of the square pyramid is
Substituting √3 = 1.732 in the above expression, we have;
Rounding off to one decimal place, we get;
Thus, the area of the square pyramid is 174.8 cm²
