Abcd is a rectangle. what is the value of x?

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

We have

Substitute:

         subtract 3136 from both sides

33

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.

65 is the length for the hypotenuse.

So we do a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse.

x^2+56^2=65^2

x^2+3136=4225

Subtract 3136 on both sides

x^2         =1089

Square root both sides

x=33

The answer is 33 meters.
