Answer:

~11.34

Explanation:

to find this out you must use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of line ad and line dc

for ad:

7.5^2 = 6.5^2 + x^2

14 = x^2

x = sqrt(14) = 3.74165739

for dc:

10^2 = 6.5^2 + y^2

57.75 = x^2

x = sqrt(57.75) = 7.59934208

now you add them

3.74165739 + 7.59934208 = 11.3409995 which is ~11.34
