 <span>This one is hard to explain in print. Let x be the side of the rectangle on the hypotenuse and y be the other side. There is a triangle formed at the right angle of the original which is similar to the original. 
So x is to 10 as z is to 8: x/10 = z/8 
and z = 4/5 x 
The upper part of that leg would be 8 - 4/5 x 

The triangle at the top is also similar: 
So y is to 6 as (8 - 4/5 x) is to 10: y/6 = (8-4/5 x)/10 
and y = 3/5 (8- 4/5 x) = 24/5 - 12/25 x 

Now area = xy 
Deriv = 0 and solve </span>

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles shown are alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles are congruent

This means that 46 must equal 3x - 14

Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for

We now use the equation to solve for x

3x - 14 = 46

add 14 to both sides

3x - 14 + 14 = 46 + 14

simplify

3x = 60

Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = x

60 / 3 = 20

We get that x = 20
