Answer:

According to the problem, think of a triangle with:

leg 1
(a) = 28

leg 2
(b) = 21

Hypotenuse
(c) = 5x

-So, to find the missing hypotenuse, you need to use the "Pythagorean Theorem" in order to solve and get the hypotenuse:


a^2+b^2=c^2


28^2 + 21^2 = (5x)^2

Then, start solving:


28^2 + 21^2 = (5x)^2


781 + 441 = 25x ^2


1225 = 25x^2


25x^2 = 1225


(25x^2)/(25) =(1225)/(25)


x^2 = 49


√(x^2) = √(49)


x =7

-Since, the hypotenuse has length of 5x meters, this could mean:


5x = 5* 7= 35

So, the answer is
x = 7
