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

Hello,

The correct answer is B) 280 in²

= 10 (2 × 9 = 18 + 10 = 28)

= 10 × 28 = 280

= 280

In other words.....
