Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 30-30-60 isosceles triangle.

So you haf it again and got your sides.

Your sides currently are: 8,
√(80),
(1)/(2)x

We could just use

Leg^2+leg^2 = H^2


8^(2)+
x^(2)=
√(80)^2

Subtraxt 8 squarded from each side

that leaves you with
x^(2)=16

you need x to not be squared so you square each side to get rid of it from x.

that makes it,

x=
√(16) and since 4*4 evenly multiplied is 16 x = 4

ANSWER =A: x=4
