Question

I need help ASAP (10 points) I checked and the only information I got was that x=8 I don’t know how to get the answer 8

Answer 1

x=8

Explanation:

This is a congruent triangle. If we use Pythagorean theorm, we can see that 3^2+y^2=25

y^2= 16

y=4

(y is the base of the small triangle)

and since the big triangle and the small triangle are congruent(the ratios are the same), 3 is half of 6, and so the base of the small triangle is half of the big triangle's.

4*2=8

x=8
