Question

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.
Find the value of x.

Answer 1

C. 10

Explanation:

Two sides of the right triangle are equal to each other, which is 5√2.

The third side is the hypotenuse length = x

We can use pythagorean theorem to find x.

Thus,

c² = a² + b²

Where,

a = 5√2

b = 5√2

c = x

Therefore:

x² = (5√2)² + (5√2)²

x² = 50 + 50

x² = 100

x = √100

x = 10
