Work backwards with pythagoras' theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
Here, a and b both equal to x. Therefore, you can write this as 8^2=2x^2. So 64=2x^2. Sqrt on both sides to give you 8=2x, hence x=4. However I must warn you that this working out may have a flaw, as I found that x actually equals to 5.66
Answer:

2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse of a function is given as √x - 1
<h3>Inverse of a function</h3>
To get the inverse of any function f(x) we need to ensure that it passes the horizontal line test.
Given the following function
f(x) = (x+1)^2
Let y= f(x) to have:
y = (x+1)^2
Replace y with x to have:
x = (y+1)^2
Make y the subject of the formula
√x =y + 1
Subtract 1 from both sides
√x - 1 = y
Swap
y = √x - 1
Hence the inverse of a function is given as √x - 1
