☺ I might have misunderstood, but I can help if you give me the question. ☺
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 1 = 8x - 17
Angle 2 = 5x + 19
These are congruent which means they are the same so the equation is:
8x - 17 = 5x + 19
3x - 17 = 19
3x = 36
x = 12
Find the area of the triangles and smal ler square and add them together ; and find the area of the complete square and set them equal to each other (these are known truths)
triangle: l×w /2
square: s^2
There are 4 triangles so
4 (1/2ab)+c^2= (a+b)(a+b)
simplify
2ab+c^2= a^2+2ab+b^2
-2ab both sides
c^2=a^2+b^2
tada!! it's proven :)
