Draw it out.. it could really help |dw:1605814080551:dw| As a hint, you should solve for the third side of that small triangle (Use Pythagorean Theorem) if its a square, the sides will be the same, if its a rectangle, theyll be different

imnotsmartlol:

@dude

imnotsmartlol:

like this then?

imnotsmartlol:

x² + 13² = 15.26² x² = 232.86 - 169 x = √63.87 x = 8

imnotsmartlol:

im pretty sure its that

imnotsmartlol:
