See the attached figure to better understand the problem

in the triangle ABD
tan 29=BD/(525+x)------> BD=(525+x)*tan 29------> equation 1

in the triangle CBD
tan 38=BD/x-------> BD=x*tan 38-----------> equation 2

equals 1 and 2

(525+x)*tan 29=x*tan 38----> 525*tan29+x*tan29=x*tan38
x*[tan38-tan29]=525*tan29---> x=525*tan29/[tan38-tan29]---> x=1282.12 ft

BD=x*tan 38-----> 1282.12*tan38-----> BD=1001.71 ft-----> 1002 ft

the answer is
1002 ft

How do you find the length of a diagonal right triangle ?
V125BC [204]
Unsure what you mean by diagonal right triangle

but if you wanted to find the hypothenuse (longest side) of a right triangle, you can apply pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2
where c is the hypothenuse
a and b are the other sides

How did they get the -5? I got -3
Naya [18.7K]
F(x) = x² - 3x
g(x) = √x - 1

f(g(x))= (√x - 1)² - 3(√x - 1) = (√x - 1)(√x - 1 - 3) =(√x - 1)(√x - 4) =
= √x √x -1*√x -4*√x +4 = x -5√x +4

Answer:  x -5√x +4
