Answer:

x = 9.9

Explanation:

This is a isosceles triangle, with sides measurements (1 , 1 , √2), and the angles being (45° - 45° - 90°). Note that the side measurements of 1 is opposite of that of a 45°, while the measurement of √2 is opposite of that of 90°.

In this case, multiply. The side measurement of 1 has 7.

1 x 7 = 7

In the same, you must multiply 7 with √2

x = 7 * √2 = 7√2.

√2 = ~1.414

7 x 1.414 = 9.898

Round to the nearest tenth:

9.898 rounded to the nearest tenth = 9.9

x = 9.9
