Answer:

10 inches

Explanation:

They're 36 degrees, so corresponding angles are the same, so the middle line is parallel to the bottom line of the triangle.

But the middle line bisects one of the waist lines of the triangle, so this is the middle line, which is equal to half the length of the bottom line
