Answer:
22.4cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the diagonal is:
[tex]d = \sqrt{l^{2} + b^{2} +h {}^{2} } [/tex]
Where:
l is the length (AB, CD)
b is the width (BC, AD)
h is the height (AE, BF, CG, DH)
We know d, l, b and we can calculate h
[tex]25 = \sqrt{10^{2} + 8^{2} + h^{2} } [/tex]
We evaluate both sides to ² to remove the square root:
[tex]25^{2} = 100 + 64 + h {}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]625 = 164 + h {}^{2} [/tex]
To find the value of h we have to do the square root, as it is to the ²:
[tex] \sqrt{625 - 124} = h[/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{501} = h = 22.4cm[/tex]
