$${s}={side}\:{length}\:{of}\:{equilateral} \\ $$$${s}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{10}−\frac{{s}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{400}+\mathrm{20}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{s}+{s}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{s}=\mathrm{10}\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$${a}={side}\:{length}\:{of}\:{small}\:{square} \\ $$$${a}+\frac{\mathrm{2}{a}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}={s} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}{s}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{10}\left(\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}−\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}\right)}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{2}}\approx\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{805} \\ $$
