--Answer--


5โˆš(2) or 7.0710... (7.1)

--Explanation--

If you look closely the triangle on the left could be moved to the space on the right of the shape.

Then, the edges would be 10 inches (top) and 5 inches (sides).

From there, you multiply 10 x 5 to get 50. If you want the square root, you do
โˆš(50) which is how I got 7.071067812, or 7.1, which was rounded to the nearest tenth.
