One of the more familiar squares is 144; the sqrt of 144 is 12. The next higher perfect square is 169, whose square root is 13. Thus, the sqrt of 147 lies between 144 and 169.

The Alternate Interior Angles theorem states, if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent. A theorem is a proven statement or an accepted idea that has been shown to be true.
This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2
Hope this helps!!
