x= 41
Break the shape into two triangles
Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the hypotenuse of the first triangle (the triangle with sides 32 and 24). You should have 40
Get to the second triangle. Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the hypotenuse which, in this case, is x. Note that the sides of the second triangle are 40 (the hypotenuse of the last triangle. Look closely. ) and 9
