oh awkward I set up my problem completely different I did the Pythagorean theorem. like I put  x^2 +130^2=(130+145)^2

anonymous · Answer

It will be a Pythagorean problem. The equation you need to solve is $$(65+29)^2 + (65+29)^2 = (2x)^2$$

anonymous · Answer

okay so I got 841 + 841 = 4x
so 841+841 = 1747 and divide that by the 4x and I get 436.75

anonymous · Answer

Remember, it isn't 4x, but 4x^2

anonymous · Answer

oh so the square root of that would be 20.898

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, just looking over your math. I think your numbers are a little off. Your squares are off. It should be $$94^2 + 94 ^2 = 4x^2$$ $$8836 + 8836 = 4x^2$$ $$17672 = 4x^2$$ $$4418 = x^2$$ $$x = 66.47$$
