let ∠BAD=α  side length =a  (a/(sin (60+α)))=(3/(sin α))    ...(i)  (a/(sin (60+30−α)))=(a/(cos α))=(5/(sin (30−α)))   ...(ii)  (i)/(ii):  ⇒((cos α)/(sin (60+α)))=((3 sin (30−α))/(5 sin α))  ((cos α)/(((√3)/2)cos α+(1/2)sin α))=((3((1/2) cos α−((√3)/2)sin α))/(5 sin α))  ((4 cos α)/((√3)cos α+sin α))=((3(cos α−(√3)sin α))/(5 sin α))  (4/((√3)+tan α))=((3(1−(√3) tan α))/(5 tan α))  let t=tan α  (4/((√3)+t))=((3−3(√3) t)/(5t))  3(√3)t^2 +26t−3(√3)=0  ⇒t=tan α=((√3)/9)⇒α=tan^(−1) ((√3)/9)≈10.9°  from (i):  a=((3 sin (60+α))/(sin α))=3(((√3)/(2 tan α))+(1/2))=15  a=3+x+5  ⇒x=a−8=7
