We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height of the pyramid.
The slant height (x) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the base side, height, and slant height.
x^2 = 7^2 + 5^2
x^2 = 49 + 25
x^2 = 74
x = √74
x ≈ 8.6mm
Therefore, the slant height of the pyramid is approximately 8.6mm.
Therefore, the correct answer is 8.6mm.
The base side equals 7mm the height is 5mm
