Answer:

48.2 cm

Explanation:

The bottom side of the large triangle has length 78 cm.

The bottom side of the right triangle has length 78 cm/2 = 39 cm.

Now we use the Pythagorean theorem to find the vertical side, the spine.

39² + s² = 62²

s² = 3844 - 1521

s² = 2323

s = 48.2

Answer: 48.2 cm
