Answer:

sqrt of 41, or A

Explanation:

You can cut the iscosles triangle into 2 right triangles as shown on the image, and the base of each will be 4, and the height 5.

The hypotenuse on a right triangle is the square root of the base squared added with the height squared, which would be 16+25, or 41. therefore, X is the sqrt of 41
