Answer:
about 9.80 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of half the segment (h) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
h² +5² = 7²
h² = 7² -5² = 49 -25 = 24
h = √24 = 2√6
This is half the segment length, so the whole segment length is ...
L = 2h = 2(2√6)
L = 4√6 ≈ 9.7980
The length of the segment is 4√6 ≈ 9.80 cm.
