Triangle ABC:
<ABC=90°
<ACB=y

Triangle CDE:
<CDE=90°
<DCE=y

The two triangles have two congruent angles, then they are similars, and theirs sides must be proportionals:

Adjacent angle to y / Hypotenuse

Triangle CDE       Triangle ABC
CD/CE             =       BC/AC

Replacing the values:
x/7=(20-x)/21

Solving for x. Cross multiplication:
(21)(x)=(7)(20-x)
21x=140-7x
21x+7x=140-7x+7x
28x=140
28x/28=140/28
x=5

Length of CD = x = 5

Answer: The length of CD is 5

Answer: 5

Whether it’s 74.89, 30.29, 38.16 or 66.73
My name is Ann [436]

Let l be the length of one leg, and h be the length of the hypothenuse. Finally, let \alpha be the measure of the angle between them. Then, the following relation holds:

l = h\cos(\alpha)

Plugging your values, we have

34 = x\cos(27)

Solving for x, we have

x = \dfrac{34}{\cos(27)} \approx 38.16
