Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a right triangle, so the pythagorean theorem will be used a lot.
First, find the side length on the left.
25^2 = 7^2 + y
y = 24
Now, knowing that 7 - 3 = 4 (the smaller side length), I can use this theorem again to find x.
4^2 + 24^2 = x^2
x =
Just need to simplify it a little farther...
592 / 16 = 37, so B must be the answer.
