Whats the solutions to this equation x^3-10x^2+16x-297=0 using the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra?

The fundamental theorem of algebra only tells you that there is a solution. It does not tell you what it is. However, by the rational roots theorem you can find a rational root, and by the factor theorem you can find the residual quadratic, and then solve that.
