Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
A diagram is attached for better understanding.
In that diagram :
Length of the rectangle is 12 and breadth is 3( since three angles are of measure 90°, remaining too, must be of 90° by 360° - 90° - 90° - 90° ).
Now, in ΔABC( right-angled triangle ) : longer side is 9 + 12 = 21 and shorter( other leg ) is 3.
On observation :
Hypotenuse of ABC = diagonal of square
By Pythagoras theorem:
{ diagonal of square is given by √( side^2 + side^2 ) and hypotenuse of a triangle is given by √( height^2 + base^2 ) }. Here, side is x and in that triangle height is 12 + 9 and base is 3.
⇒ √{ ( 12 + 9 )^2 + 3^2 } = √( x^2 + x^2 )
⇒ √{ 21^2 + 3^2 } = √( 2x^2 )
⇒ 441 + 9 = 2x^2
⇒ 450 = 2x^2
⇒ 450 / 2 = x^2
⇒ 225 = x^2
⇒ 15 = x
Hence the required value of x is 15.

SOLUTION :
Let the side of the square be X cm.
Join the diagonal of the square.
Now :
So the length of the square is 15 cm......(A)
