*[illustration triangleAltitude.jpg]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a^2\ =\ 37^2\ -\ (40\ -\ x)^2]


and


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a^2\ =\ 13^2\ -\ x^2]


So


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 37^2\ -\ (40\ -\ x)^2\ =\ 13^2\ -\ x^2]


Solve for *[tex \Large x] and then calculate *[tex \Large \sqrt{13^2\ -\ x^2]

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
