![7^2 =5^2 +x^2 −10xcos(θ)⇒24=x^2 −10xcos(θ) 7^2 =x^2 +(5+x)^2 −2x(5+x)cos(180−θ) ⇒49=x^2 +25+10x+x^2 +10xcos(θ)+2x^2 cos(θ) ⇒24=2x^2 +10x+10xcos(θ)+2x^2 cos(θ) ⇒x+10+20cos(θ)+2xcos(θ)=0 x(1+2cos(θ))=−10(1+2cos(θ) x=−10 or cos(θ)=((−1)/2) ⇒x^2 +5x−24=0⇒x=3 [θ is the angle between length (5+x) and (x)]](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q202621.png)
