Answer:

x = √30

Explanation:

From small triangle BDC:

using Pythagorean theorem

CB² = BD² + DC²

x² = BD² + 3²

Fron triangles BDC and ADB.

ΔBDC has long leg BD and short leg DC.

ΔADB has long leg AD and shirt leg BD.

AD : BD = BD : DC

7 : BD = BD : 3

7*3 = BD*BD

BD² = 7*3 = 21

x² = BD² + 3² = 21+9 = 30

x² = 30

x = √30
