We could find x by finding the leg of the implied triangle.

We could use Pythagorean’s theorem for this

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug in values

(17)^2 + b^2 = (19)^2

289 + b^2 = 361

b = 6 square root 2

We multiply this by two because there are two of these

This makes it 12 square root 2

Subtract this from 31

This will be 31-12 sqrt 2 or 14.029437...
