You can use a trigonometric approach using Cosine law. You can use Stewart’s theorem as well.
Given a line segment $XY=7$, $Z$ is constructed on $XY$ so that $XZ=5$. Two equilateral triangles are constructed on the same side of $XY$ with $XZ$ and $YZ$ as a side. The length of the segment connecting their two circumcenters can be expressed as $\sqrt a$ where $a$ is a non-squared natural number. $a=?$
