Math Problem Statement
Determine dimension x
Solution
From the image you provided, it appears we are dealing with a geometric problem involving a rectangle and two right triangles. To determine the dimension , we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.
Here are the key dimensions from the diagram:
- One triangle is formed with sides 12 m (height) and 12 m (width).
- Another triangle is formed with sides 7 m and 5 m.
Since both triangles are right-angled, we can use the Pythagorean theorem in both cases to solve for , the diagonal of the rectangle.
Step 1: Identify the right triangles.
-
For the triangle with sides 12 m and , use the Pythagorean theorem:
-
For the second triangle with sides 7 m and 5 m: [ x^2 + 5^2 =
