Question

Find the distance represented by x

### River Crossing Problem

In this diagram, we analyze a typical river crossing scenario where the objective is to calculate certain dimensions involved.

#### Description of Diagram

- **Shore**: There are two shorelines on either side of the river.
- **River**: This is the body of water flowing between the two shores.
- **x ft**: This is the distance along the shore on the right-hand side of the river, which needs to be determined.
- **80 ft**: This is the horizontal span across the river and part of the adjacent shorelines.
- **50 ft**: This distance is from a point on the shore to another point on the river.
- **30 ft**: This is the vertical distance from one shore down to a point that intersects the river.

#### Triangle Relationships

The central focus is on the right-angled triangles formed by intersecting lines along the river shores:
- A right triangle is formed by the vertical distance of 30 ft, the horizontal span of 80 ft, and a hypotenuse which constitutes the river crossing solution.

To solve for the unknown $x$, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, or trigonometric principles depending on the exact problem constraints provided.

### Educational Objectives

- Understanding real-world applications of the Pythagorean theorem.
- Solving for unknown distances in geometric shapes.
- Applying theorems and formulas to practical scenarios.

This type of problem helps reinforce fundamental concepts in geometry and trigonometry through practical application.
