The output with the "->" is a replacement rule that says "replace the
variable you wanted solved for in FindRoot with the value found by
findroot".  To apply this rule on some other expression, use the ReplaceAll
operator "/."  .   For example:

In[3]:=
x /. FindRoot[x^2 == 10, {x, 3}]

Out[3]=
3.16228
