Step 1 :We are given that F and G are midpoints of the sides of triangle CDE. Therefore, the line segment FG is parallel to CD and FG is half the length of CD.
Step 2 :We are given the lengths of FG and CD in terms of x as FG = -2x + 10 and CD = -7x + 29.
Step 3 :Since FG is half the length of CD, we can set up the equation -2x + 10 = 0.5(-7x + 29).
Step 4 :Solving this equation gives us x = 3.
Step 5 :Substituting x = 3 into the equation for FG, we get FG = -2(3) + 10 = 4.
Step 6 :Thus, the measure of \(\overline{F G}\) is \(\boxed{4}\).
