Answer:

AC ≈ 11.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in Δ CDE and Δ ADE

CE² + DE² = DC²

CE² + 7² = 8²

CE² + 49 = 64 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

CE² = 15 ( take the square root of both sides )

CE = \sqrt{15}

-------------------------------------------------------

AE² + DE² = DA²

AE² + 7² = 10²

AE² + 49 = 100 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

AE² = 51 ( take the square root of both sides )

AE = \sqrt{51}

Then

AC = AE + CE = \sqrt{15} + \sqrt{51} ≈ 11.0 cm ( to the nearest tenth )

What is the difference between the height and the slant height of a pyramid?
monitta
The height is always measured perpendicular to the horizontal surface on which the pyramid rests, whereas the slant height is measured perpendicular to one edge of the base to the vertex, and, as we would say, appears to be slanted.

Find the measure of Angle 8. <br><br> measure of angle 7 = 2x+15<br> measure of angle 8 = 3x
aleksandrvk [35]
I do not understand the context of your question, you need extra information to find this out like a picture or a word problem.
If the angles equal each other you would have to solve for x when angle 7 and 8 equal each other. SO... based on that, x would equal 15. This means measure of angle 7 would equal 45 and measure of angle 8 would equal 45. This may not be true because I have no idea what you are asking
