The Pythagorean theorem is helpful here.
.. x^2 +20^2 = 50^2

.. x = 10√21 ≈ 46 . . . . feet

I am confused on what the reasons are.​
Burka [1]

Answer:

1) Angle AOC + Angle COB = Angle AOB

Angle AOC = X

Angle COB = Y

putting in equation, we get

X + Y = AOB

2) Angle X + Y = AOB (proved above)

AOB = 90° ( given)

Angle X + Angle y = 90°

Angle X is the complement of Y
