AB=diagonal of square  =dist between two centre=4(√2)  BC=2+3=5  ∴AC=DE=x=(√((4(√2))^2 −5^2 ))=(√7)

$${AB}={diagonal}\:{of}\:{square} \\ $$$$={dist}\:{between}\:{two}\:{centre}=\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${BC}=\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\therefore{AC}={DE}={x}=\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\sqrt{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
