Question

Solve for x (Geometry)

Answer 1

x = 18
`√(2)`

Explanation:

The middle line divides the 90° angle in half meaning your triangles are isosceles triangles. Recall that an isosceles triangle has sides that are the same length.

Using pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c², you can solve for x

18² + 18² = x²

x² = 648

x = 18
`√(2)`
