[tex]\large\bf{\underline{Given:}}[/tex]
- A trapezium ABDE with sides 38 , 16 , 50 and x
[tex]\large\bf{\underline{To\: find :}}[/tex]
- The value of x
[tex]\large\bf{\underline{Construction:}}[/tex]
- Join C to E || AB

[tex]\large\bf{\underline{Hence,}}[/tex]
- CD = BD-BC
⟹CD = 50 - 38
⟹CD = 50 - 38
⟹CD = 12
[tex]\large\bf{Since,}[/tex]
- AB || CE And ABDE is a trapezium , Therefore ABCE is a rectangle
[tex]\large\bf{\underline{Therefore}}[/tex]
- AB = CE
⟹ CE = 16
[tex]\large\bf{\underline{In\: triangle\:DCE}}[/tex]
[tex]{\large\bf{Using\: Pythagoras\: theorem:}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\large\bf\pink{DE^2 = CD^2 + CE^2}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\bf{⟹x^2 = 12^2 + 16^2}[/tex]
[tex]\large\bf{⟹x^2 = 144 + 256}[/tex]
[tex]\large\bf{⟹x^2 = 400}[/tex]
[tex] \large \bf \:⟹ {x} = \sqrt{400} [/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\large\bf{⟹x= 20}}[/tex]
