Answer:
x = 31.8
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
By applying Pythagoras theorem in right ΔADC,
AC² = AD² + CD²
(22)² = AD² + (16)²
AD² = 484 - 256
AD = √228
= 2√57
Now we apply Pythagoras theorem in right ΔADB,
AB² = AD² + DB²
x² = 228 + (44 - 16)²
x² = 228 + 784
x² = 1012
x = √1012
= 31.81
≈ 31.8
