Answer: x=15.6

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides. (1 pair). So, the other side (not x) must equal 11.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem; a^2+b^2=c^2, you can substitute the values in as follows

11^1+11^2=x^2

121+121=x^2

242=x^2

15.55634918610405=x

round to the nearest tenth as said in the question...

x=15.6
