The discussion revolves around solving for the angle theta in a 3D pyramid problem using the cosine law and Pythagorean theorem. The user consistently arrives at an angle of 65 degrees, while the answer key states it should be 93 degrees, leading to confusion about the correct lengths of sides AC and AD. Clarification on the dimensions indicates that if AD is 15 cm, the calculations align with the user's findings, but for the answer key to be correct, AC must be 15 cm. The ambiguity in the diagram and the lack of clear definitions for the variables contribute to the difficulty in reaching a consensus on the correct angle. Ultimately, the issue appears to stem from potential inaccuracies in the textbook answer key.
