To find lateral edge $ e $ use Pythagorean Theorem:

$$ s^2 + \frac{ a^2 }{ 4 } = e^2 $$

After substituting $s = 0.453\, \text{cm}$ and $a = 0.56\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ \left( 0.453\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} + \frac{ \left( 0.56\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} }{ 4 }= e^2 $$ $$ 0.2052\, \text{cm}^2 + \frac{ 0.3136\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 4 }= e^2 $$ $$ 0.2052\, \text{cm}^2 + 0.0784\, \text{cm}^2 = e^2 $$ $$ e^2 = 0.2836\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ e = \sqrt{ 0.2836\, \text{cm}^2 } $$$$ e = 0.5325\, \text{cm} $$
