The length of the side marked with the variable x is 49.9 inches.

The triangle shown in the image is a right triangle, with a hypotenuse of 67 and one leg of 34. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the missing leg, which is marked with the variable x:


x^2 = 67^2 - 34^2


x^2 = 3651 - 1156


x^2 = 2495

x = √2495

x = 49.9

Therefore, the length of the side marked with the variable x is 49.9 inches.
