1. **Problem 7: Find the diagonal $x$ of a rectangle with length 24 and width 7.**
2. The diagonal of a rectangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: $$x = \sqrt{\text{length}^2 + \text{width}^2}$$
3. Substitute the given values: $$x = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2}$$
4. Calculate the squares: $$x = \sqrt{576 + 49}$$
5. Add inside the square root: $$x = \sqrt{625}$$
6. Find the square root: $$x = 25$$
7. **Answer:** The diagonal $x$ of the rectangle is 25.
8. **Problem 9: Find the diagonal $x$ of a square with side length 8.**
9. The diagonal of a square is given by: $$x = \sqrt{2} \times \text{side}$$
10. Substitute the side length: $$x = \sqrt{2} \times 8$$
11. Simplify: $$x = 8\sqrt{2}$$
12. **Answer:** The diagonal $x$ of the square is $8\sqrt{2}$.
13. **Problem 10: Find the height $x$ of an isosceles triangle with two equal sides 5 and base 8.**
14. The height $x$ splits the base into two equal segments of length 4 each.
15. Use the Pythagorean theorem on one right triangle formed:
$$x = \sqrt{5^2 - 4^2}$$
16. Calculate the squares:
$$x = \sqrt{25 - 16}$$
17. Subtract inside the root:
$$x = \sqrt{9}$$
18. Find the square root:
$$x = 3$$
19. **Answer:** The height $x$ of the isosceles triangle is 3.
