x^{2}=\frac{\left(62\times 62-38\times 38\right)^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Cancel out 2\times 100 in both numerator and denominator.
x^{2}=\frac{\left(3844-38\times 38\right)^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Multiply 62 and 62 to get 3844.
x^{2}=\frac{\left(3844-1444\right)^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Multiply 38 and 38 to get 1444.
x^{2}=\frac{2400^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Subtract 1444 from 3844 to get 2400.
x^{2}=\frac{5760000}{50\times 100\times 100}
Calculate 2400 to the power of 2 and get 5760000.
x^{2}=\frac{5760000}{5000\times 100}
Multiply 50 and 100 to get 5000.
x^{2}=\frac{5760000}{500000}
Multiply 5000 and 100 to get 500000.
x^{2}=\frac{288}{25}
Reduce the fraction \frac{5760000}{500000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20000.
x=\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{5} x=-\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x^{2}=\frac{\left(62\times 62-38\times 38\right)^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Cancel out 2\times 100 in both numerator and denominator.
x^{2}=\frac{\left(3844-38\times 38\right)^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Multiply 62 and 62 to get 3844.
x^{2}=\frac{\left(3844-1444\right)^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Multiply 38 and 38 to get 1444.
x^{2}=\frac{2400^{2}}{50\times 100\times 100}
Subtract 1444 from 3844 to get 2400.
x^{2}=\frac{5760000}{50\times 100\times 100}
Calculate 2400 to the power of 2 and get 5760000.
x^{2}=\frac{5760000}{5000\times 100}
Multiply 50 and 100 to get 5000.
x^{2}=\frac{5760000}{500000}
Multiply 5000 and 100 to get 500000.
x^{2}=\frac{288}{25}
Reduce the fraction \frac{5760000}{500000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20000.
x^{2}-\frac{288}{25}=0
Subtract \frac{288}{25} from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-\frac{288}{25}\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -\frac{288}{25} for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-\frac{288}{25}\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{\frac{1152}{25}}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -\frac{288}{25}.
x=\frac{0±\frac{24\sqrt{2}}{5}}{2}
Take the square root of \frac{1152}{25}.
x=\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{24\sqrt{2}}{5}}{2} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{24\sqrt{2}}{5}}{2} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{5} x=-\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{5}
The equation is now solved.
