You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volunteer tutors give their time, and we answer as many questions as we can.
I usually pick questions with sufficient information to give an answer,
or questions that are expressed clearly. Your question is neither.
If you have a diagram, remember: We DO NOT have your diagram.
What are p, t, and a? Even assuming they are sides, there is insufficient information given. Are any of the angles indicated? Is one of the angles marked as a right angle? If you accurately gave all information of your problem, the answer is that it can not be answered, insufficient information.

If you're looking for the measure of ∠E, then you need to find the length of segments e (AC), and c (AE), and then use the
law of cosines to determine this angle.
If you're seeking the length of segment e (AC), you just set up a proportion. After doing so, you should get this length as: 1.75 units.
