  1. cosBAD = cosEBA = 3/4
    By cosine law,
    x^2 = 4^2 + 5^2 - 2(4)(5)cosBAD
    x = sqrt11

  2. Using Pythagoras Theorem,
    AE^2 = 4^2 − 3^2 = 7
    AC^2 = 8^2 + 7 = 71

    By Parallelogram Law,
    2×(4^2 + 5^2) = x^2 + 71
    x^2 = 11
    x = √11

    Notam cu P punctul in care paralela la BD prin E intalneste pe AD.Vom obtine
    EP=BD=X;EB=DP=5-3=2.Aplicam teorema lui Pitagora
    AE^2 = 4^2 − 3^2 = 7
    X=EP^2=AE^2+AP^2=7+2^2=11 =>x = √11

  4. Problem 838
    Draw BF perpendicular in AD,then AF=3 and FD=5-3=2.Is BD^2=BF^2+FD^2=(4^2-3^2)+2^2=16-9+4=11.So x=√11.
