Answer:

Option A. 4√5

Explanation:

To obtain the value of x, we must first obtain the value of y as shown in the attached photo.

The value of y can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

In this case y is the longest side i.e the Hypothenus.

y² = 4² + [4√3]²

y² = 4² + [4² × (√3)²]

y² = 4² + [4² × 3]

y² = 16 + [16 × 3]

y² = 16 + 48

y² = 64

Take the square root of both side

y = √64

y = 8

Finally, we shall determine the value of x by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below.

Note: x is the longest side i.e the Hypothenus in this case.

x² = 4² + 8²

x² = 16 + 64

x² = 80

Take the square root of both side

x = √80

x = √(16 × 5)

x = √16 × √5

x = 4√5

Therefore, the value of x is 4√5.
