| Since, according to the condition, AB = BC, then the triangle ABC is isosceles with the base AC, then the angle BAC = BCA, which means CosBAC = CosBCA = 0.8.
The SAN triangle is rectangular, since CH is the height, then CosCAH = AH / AC.
AH = AC CosCAH = 10 * 0.8 = 8 cm.
Answer: The length of the segment AH is 8 cm.
