x ≈ 12.7
Explanation:
since the triangle is isosceles then the 2 legs are congruent, both 9
using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is
x² = 9² + 9² = 81 + 81 = 162 ( take square root of both sides )
x =
≈ 12.7 ( to the nearest tenth )
