Think about removing the rectangle between the two right triangles.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2812.25-11%29%2F2=1.25%2F2=0.625\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The leg of each is 0.625 unit and you are looking for the hypotenuse, which is the other unknown segment forming the trapezoid.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h=sqrt%280.625%5E2%2B6.5%5E2%29\", or this is the length of each of the equal length legs.
