Answer:

  13√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel segment creates a similar triangle with half the area of the larger one. When the areas of the triangles have ratio 1/2, the linear dimensions of the triangles have a ratio that is the square root of that: √(1/2) = (√2)/2. Thus, the segment length is ...

  26 · (√2)/2 = 13√2
