Question

Find the value of x PLEASE I NEED HELPP :(

Answer 1

Answer:
`2√(13)-√(697)`

Explanation:

Since ABD is a right triangle, 14^2 = 12^2 + BD^2

196 = 144 + BD^2

52 = BD^2

BD =
`√(52) = 2√(13)`

ADC is also a right triangle, so 29^2 = 12^2 + DC^2

841 = 144 + DC^2

DC^2 = 697

DC =
`√(697)`

Since x = BD + DC,

x =
`2√(13) +√(697)` :>
