Hi there! The answer is C.
The area of the square in the middle is the following:
Hence, the area of the square is 25 cm^2.
The area of one triangle is the following:
Hence, the total area of the four triangles is 4 × 20 = 80 cm^2.
Therefore, the total area of the pyramid is 80 + 25 = 105 cm^2. The answer is C.

Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
