Answer:

  x = √70

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles shown are all similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

  hypotenuse/long side = x/7 = (7+3)/x

Cross-multiplying gives ...

  x^2 = 7(10)

  x = √70

_____

You will note that the value of x (the long side) is the geometric mean of the long segment and the whole hypotenuse.

A similar "geometric mean" relation holds for the short side:

  BC = √(CD·CA)

There is yet another "geometric mean" relation that holds for the altitude:

  BD = √(CD·AD)
