Answer: 14.28 cm

Explanation:

So, 10 squared = 7 squared + X squared.

This can be simplified to: 100 = 49 + X squared.

Then, you subtract 49, and are left with 51 = X squared

Then, take the square root if 51, you get approx. 7.14 cm.
since this is an equilateral triangle, the answer will be the same for the second half of the base.
So, 7.14 x 2, 14.28 cm

Answer:

14.3cm

Explanation:


a^(2) +
b^(2) =
c^(2)


a^(2) +
7^(2) =
10^(2)


a^(2) + 49 = 100 Subtract 49 from both sides


a^(2) + 49 - 49 = 100 - 49


a^(2) = 51


\sqrt{a^(2) } =
√(51)

a = 7.14142842854 This is a rounded number. This is an irrational number. That means that it never repeats or terminates. It is like
\pi.

We just found the left side of the base of the triangle. We need to double this to find FG.

7.14142842854 x 2 = 14.2828568571

Round this to 1 decimal place 14.3
