Answer:
Option A. x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo.
From the attached photo,
we shall determine the value of y. This can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as illustrated below:
(√80)² = 8² + y²
80 = 64 + y²
Collect like terms
80 – 64 = y²
16 = y²
Take the square root of both side
y = √16
y = 4
Finally, we shall determine the value of x. This can be obtained as follow:
From the attached photo,
x = 2y
but:
y = 4
Therefore,
x = 2y
x = 2 × 4
x = 8
