Answer:

  D.  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment lengths are equal, so ...

  x^2 = 90-x

  x^2 +x -90 = 0 . . . . . . add x-90 to put in standard form

  (x +10)(x -9) = 0 . . . . . factor

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: -10, 9.

The positive value of x is 9.
