Answer:

x = 6.22 cm

Explanation:

The lines on the sides of the triangle means they are the same length

Since it is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substituting what we know

a^2 + a^2 = x^2

a=4.4

(4.4)^2 + (4.4) ^2= x^2

19.36 + 19.36 = x^2

38.72 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

6.222539674 = x

Rounding to 3 significant figures

x = 6.22 cm
