Answer:

The problem took me a little while to solve. I considered drawing the hypotenuses of various triangles, and I also tried using coordinate geometry. But I could not get these approaches to work.

Then I thought, what would happen if I rotated the diagram so the line segments with 12 and 9 were horizontal?

Then it struck me: we can find the distance between the endpoints by forming a right triangle where the bottom leg is 12 + 9 = 21 and the other leg is 3.

The hypotenuse is then:

212 + 32 = 441 + 9 = 450 = c2

c = √450 = 15√2

This distance equals the diagonal of the square.

The diagonal of a square is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle, so its length is x√2.

Thus we have x√2 = 15√2 so x = 15.

pls mark me as a brain list
