Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

We can write three equations thanks to Pythagoras

   [tex]AB^2+AC^2=(7+3)^2\\x^2+7^2=AB^2\\x^2+3^2=BC^2\\[/tex]

So it comes

[tex]x^2+7^2+x^2+3^2=(7+3)^2\\\\2x^2=100-49-9=42\\\\x^2 = 42/2=21\\\\x = \sqrt{\boxed{21}}\\[/tex]

Hope this helps

Answer:

x = [tex]\sqrt{21}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ BCD and Δ ABD are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{BD}{AD}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{CD}{BD}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

x² = 21 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{21}[/tex]
