Question

Solve for x for the triangle

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

The triangle in the picture is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x.

`(√(5))^2 +(√(5) )^2=x^2` [exponent]

`5+5=x^2` [add]

`10=x^2` [square root both sides]

`x=√(10)`

Therefore, we know that C is the correct answer.
