Answer 1

Explanation:

step 1. The segment x is made up of 2 equal lines which are connected in the middle to another segment 12 units long.

step 2. the intersection of these two segments must create a 90° angle because the two lines are equal.

step 3. The lower segments are identical to the upper segments.

step 4. therefore x = 11(2) = 22.
