To start off with, we have to draw perpendiculars from A and B on CD at E and F respectively.

Now, we will obtain two right-angled triangles.

We apply Pythagoras Theorem in both of them:-

DE² = AD² - AE²

DE² = 5² - 4²

DE² = 25 - 16

DE² = 9

DE = √9

DE = 3 cm

Similarly, FC = 3 cm

DC can be re-written as:-

=DE + EF + FC (Also, EF = AB as ABEF forms a rectangle)

=3 + 7 + 3

= 13cm

So, the value of x is 13cm
