Answer:

x = 49

Explanation:

The third side of the largest of the inner triangles:

=
\sqrt{(7\sqrt{(33)^(2) }- (33)^(2)

=
√(528) =√((16)(33)) =4√(33)

The side that continues next to 33: x -33

Applying similarity property on right triangles:


(33)/(4√(33) ) =(4√(33) )/(x-33)


(33)(x-33)=(4√(33) )^(2)


33x-1089=528


33x=528+1089


x=(528+1089)/(33) =49

Hope this helps
