The length of is given by the relationship between the similar triangles
ΔABD and ΔBDC.
Reasons:
The given parameters are;
The altitude of triangle ΔABD =
The hypotenuse of formed right triangle =
The length of AD = 8
Length of BD = 24
Whereby ΔABD is a right triangle
We have;
ΔABD is similar to ΔBDC
Therefore, by similar triangle proportional sides relationship, we have;
Which gives;
=
Therefore;
Which gives;

The set X is convex.
In geometry, a subset of an affine space over the real numbers, or more broadly a subset of a Euclidean space, is said to be convex if it contains the entire line segment connecting any two points in the subset. A solid cube is an example of a convex set, whereas anything hollow or with an indent, such as a crescent shape, is not. Alternatively, a convex region is a subset that crosses every line into a single line segment.
b)The set X is convex as any two points on the set X is included in the whole set as x>0. So a line joining any two points on the set X is completely inside the set x.
c)set X is not a closed set as the compliment of the set is not an open set.
d)Set X is not bounded. If a set S contains both upper and lower bounds, it is said to be bounded. A set of real numbers is therefore said to be bounded if it fits inside a defined range. hence set x is not bounded.
