can u help me solved pls

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, take a look at the pyramid, if the "sides" of are 14m, the inner distance toward the center will be half that, or 7, so take a peek inside the pyramid, you have a right angle and 3 legs

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

you have 2 legs/sides, you'd just need to find the last one
