Answer:

23

Explanation:

The ratios of side lengths in an isosceles right triangle are ...

1 : 1 : √2

Multiplying these by 23 gives ...

23 : 23 : 23√2

The lengths of AT and AP are both 23.

x = 23

_____

If you like, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.

PT² = AP² +AT²

(23√2)² = x² +x²

2(23²) = 2(x²) . . . . . rearrange

x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2, take the square root
