Answer 4

AB^2 + BD^2 = AD^2

24^2 + x^2 = 26^2

Solve this equation for x

Answer 5

@jim_thompson5910 is correct

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910 : HOW DO I SOLVE THAT ? IF I DONT KNOW WHAT BD = ?

Answer 7

The value of x is BD in this case. Simply get x to one side and everything else to the other to solve for x.

Answer 8

24^2 + x^2 = 26^2
you can solve it by subtracting 24^2 both sides
then , we have
x^2=26^2-24^2
now simplify 26^2-24^2
and then take square root of (26^2-24^2)
