X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x

shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10  in. <== shorter piece

y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece

Answer:

The value of x is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, if a segment is drawn from the right angle ⊥ to the hypotenuse like the given figure, then

∵ The length of one side of the right triangle = (x + 2)

∵ The length of the hypotenuse = x + 5

∴ (x + 2)² = x (x + 5)

∵ (x + 2)² = (x + 2)(x + 2)

∴ (x + 2)(x + 2) = x(x + 5)

→ Simplify the two sides

∵ (x)(x) + (x)(2) + (2)(x) + (2)(2) = (x)(x) + (x)(5)

∴ x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 5x

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∴ x² + 4x + 4 = x² + 5x

→ Subtract x² from both sides

∵ x² - x² + 4x + 4 = x² - x² + 5x

∴ 4x + 4 = 5x

→ Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ 4x - 4x + 4 = 5x - 4x

∴ 4 = x

∴ The value of x is 4
