ABCD is square so AB = BC = CD = AD
10 - x = x - 8 so x= 9 then AD will be 1yd, i guess im not sure bc i dunno the 2x-17 for :((
<span>When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute, right or obtuse:
</span>1) Square all 3 sides.
2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides.
3) Compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side.
if sum > 3rd side² Acute Triangle
if sum = 3rd side² Right Triangle<span>
if sum < 3rd side² Obtuse Triangle
1) 1,296 2,401 3,600
2) Sum = 3,697
3) </span><span>3,697 is greater than 3,600
Therefore, the triangle is acute.

2w+2(5+2w)=33
2w+10+4w=33
6w=22
w=11/3 or 3 and 2/3
