Question

ABCD is a rectangle. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We can use pythagorean theorem to solve for the value of x:

45^2 + x^2 = 53^2

2025 + x^2 = 2809

We now subtract 2025 from both sides:

2809 - 2025 = 784

x^2 = 784

Square both sides

`√(784)` = 28

x = 28

Answer

The value of x is 28
