Answer:


x=30

Explanation:

First, let us notice that the ticks on the side of this quadrilateral indicate that the lengths of the sides are equal.

From this, we can create the following equation based on the perimeter of this shape.


28+28+x+x=116

Now, we can solve this equation for x by first combining like terms


2x+56=116

Now, we can subtract 56 from each side


2x=60

And now divide each side by 2


x=30

Just to check out answer, we can plug this x-value into our original perimeter equation to see if it is correct


28+28+30+30=116\\\\56+60=116\\\\116=116
