Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>
The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is
* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*
(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).
a= x, b=8, c=9
Let's Plug in the side lengths:
Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:
Subtract 64 from both sides:
Take the square root of both sides:
___________________________
The angle does not matter. Think of it as finding the other side to a triangle. Use 
a=39 (line AB)
b=b (the leg we need to find)
c=89 (line BD)
(subtract the 1521 from both sides)
(square root both sides)
b = 80
AD=80
a=39 (line AB)
b=b (the leg we need to find)
c=89 (line BD)
(subtract the 1521 from both sides)
(square root both sides)
b = 80
AD=80
