Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

ΔTRQ is an isosceles right triangle, so if we find the value of RT then the value of 'x' will be the same

We can find RT by creating a proportion based on the ratio of sides in a 30-60-90° triangle which, respectively, is 1 :
`√(3)` : 2

2
`√(3)`/RT =
`√(3)`/2

cross-multiply:

`√(3)`· RT = 4
`√(3)`

RT = 4

Therefore, x = 4
