(B) According to Apollonius's Theorem,for any triangle $\Delta ABC$ with median $\overline{AD}$ to side $\overline{BC}$,the following relation holds:$AB^2 + AC^2 = 2(AD^2 + BD^2)$Given that $AD = 7$ and $AB^2 + AC^2 = 148$,we substitute these values into the formula:$148 = 2(7^2 + BD^2)$$148 = 2(49 + BD^2)$Divide both sides by $2$:$74 = 49 + BD^2$$BD^2 = 74 - 49 = 25$$BD = \sqrt{25} = 5$Since $\overline{AD}$ is a median,$D$ is the midpoint of $\overline{BC}$,so $BC = 2 	imes BD$.$BC = 2 	imes 5 = 10$.

In $\Delta ABC$,$\overline{AD}$ is a median. If $AD = 7$ and $AB^2 + AC^2 = 148$,find $BC$.
