Answer:

x=30m

Explanation:

Smaller triangle of sizes 26m and 10m...

using Pythagoras rule...let the middle line that so the triangle be y...

26² = 10²+y²

26²-10²=y²

y²=676-100

y²=576

y=√576

y=24m

the middle line is now 24m

now the larger triangle of sizes 18m, 24m and x...

using Pythagoras rule...

x²=24²+18²

x²=576+324

x²=900

x=√900

x=30m
