13 cm

Explanation:

Done the test.

Answer 2

Inclined height of a regular pyramid: Length of the line segment from the vertex, perpendicular to an edge of the base.
To find it, what we should do is use the Pythagorean theorem.
We have then:
d = ROOT ((10/2) ^ 2 + (12) ^ 2)
d = ROOT (25 + 144)
d = ROOT (169)
d = 13 cm
Answer:
C. 13 cm
