1. Problem Description

We have a quadrilateral ABCDABCD. Angle BB and angle DD are right angles. AB=10MAB = 10M. Angle BACBAC is equal to angle BCABCA, thus triangle ABCABC is an isosceles triangle. Angle ACDACD is 3030^{\circ}. We need to find the length of ADAD, which is denoted by xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, since triangle ABCABC is an isosceles triangle with BA=BCBA = BC, we know that angle BAC=BAC = angle BCABCA.
Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}, and angle ABC=90ABC = 90^{\circ},
angle BACBAC + angle BCABCA + angle ABC=180ABC = 180^{\circ}.
So angle BACBAC + angle BCA=18090=90BCA = 180^{\circ} - 90^{\circ} = 90^{\circ}.
Since angle BAC=BAC = angle BCABCA, we have 2×2 \times angle BCA=90BCA = 90^{\circ}, so angle BCA=45BCA = 45^{\circ}.
Since triangle ABCABC is an isosceles right triangle with AB=BC=10MAB = BC = 10M, we can find ACAC using the Pythagorean theorem:
AC2=AB2+BC2AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
AC2=(10M)2+(10M)2=100M2+100M2=200M2AC^2 = (10M)^2 + (10M)^2 = 100M^2 + 100M^2 = 200M^2
AC=200M2=102MAC = \sqrt{200M^2} = 10\sqrt{2}M.
In triangle ACDACD, we have angle ADC=90ADC = 90^{\circ}, angle ACD=30ACD = 30^{\circ}. Therefore, angle CAD=1809030=60CAD = 180^{\circ} - 90^{\circ} - 30^{\circ} = 60^{\circ}.
We can use trigonometric ratios in the right triangle ACDACD to find the length of ADAD.
cos(30)=CDAC\cos(30^{\circ}) = \frac{CD}{AC}. Also, sin(30)=ADAC\sin(30^{\circ}) = \frac{AD}{AC}.
Since sin(30)=12\sin(30^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2},
ADAC=12\frac{AD}{AC} = \frac{1}{2}
AD=12ACAD = \frac{1}{2} AC
AD=12(102M)=52MAD = \frac{1}{2} (10\sqrt{2}M) = 5\sqrt{2}M.
So x=52Mx = 5\sqrt{2}M.

3. Final Answer

x=52Mx = 5\sqrt{2}M
