Answer:
B x = sqrt(41)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the large triangle is isosceles, the smaller triangles on the right side and left side are congruent right triangles.
The base of each smaller right triangle is 4 units long (8/2 = 4).
The vertical leg is 5.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + 5^2 = x^2
16 + 25 = x^2
x^2 = 41
x = sqrt(41)
Answer: B x = sqrt(41)
Exact form: 31/35
