What is the value of x? leave your answer in simplest radical form.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

2 sqrt(5) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 +4^2 = x^2

4+16 = x^2

20 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(20) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(4*5) = x

sqrt(4) sqrt(5) =x

2 sqrt(5) =x
