Question

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The isosceles triangle is divided into two forming two right triangles

in right triangles the square value of hypotenuse is equal to sum of other two side lengths

x^2 + 4^2 = 52

x^2 + 16 = 52 subtract 16 from both sides

x^2 = 36 find the root for both sides

x = 6
