Solve for the unknown variable using a pythagoras theorem:
Hypotenuse = 32+x
Opposite = 56
Adjacent = x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Hyp}^2=\text{opp}^2+\text{adj}^2 \\ (32+x)^2=56^2+x^2 \\ (32+x)(32+x)=3136+x^2 \\ 1024+64x+x^2=3136+x^2 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 64x+x^2-x^2=3136-1024 \\ 64x=2112 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{64x}{64}=\frac{2112}{64} \\ x=33 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore the correct value of x = 33
