The answer to this is x=3
(x-4)² + (x-2)² = x²
(x² - 8x + 16 ) + (x² - 4x + 4) = x
2x² -12x + 20 = x
2x²-12x + 20 - x = 0
2x² - 13x + 20 = 0
(2x-5) (x-4) = 0
2x-5 = 0
2x = 5
x = ⁵/₂
x-4 = 0
x = 4
so x₁ = ⁵/₂ , and x₂ = 4
1 7/8 is the answer

Answer:
37.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached for reference.
let the diagonal be x,
By Pythagorean formula:
x² = (22.5)² + (30)²
x = √[(22.5)² + (30)²]
x = 37.5 cm
