Question

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.

Find the value of x and the value of y.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle. So, the sides opposite to equal angles are equal.

y = 5

To find x, use Pythagorean theorem,

x² = 5² + 5²

= 25 + 25

= 50

`x =√(50)\\\\x=√(2*5*5)\\\\x=5√(2)`
