Answer:

x = 2√5

Explanation:

Isosceles right angle triangles have two congruent sides ( for more reference , kindly check the attached image ) making it a special 45-45-90 degree triangle.

Special triangles have simple easy rules to help identify the lengths of the other sides lengths. For the 45-45-90 degree triangle, the hypotenuse (longest side) is equal to the value of the triangles leg(shorter sides) times √2 ( for more reference kindly check the other attached image )

Here, the value of the leg it equal to √10

If the value of the hypotenuse (x) = leg × √2

Then the value of x = √10 × √2

x = √10 × √2 = √(10 × 2) = √20

==> simplify radical

x = 2√5
