Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is special right triangles
For the triangle on the bottom, the shorter leg is x, the longer leg is x * √3, and the hypotenuse is x *2. This means that the shorter leg is 2 since you the longer leg is that side multiplied by √3. The hypotenuse is x *2, which is 2 * 2 which equals 4.
Now we have one side of the bigger triangle. This triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, and the rule is that the two legs are x, and the hypotenuse is x *2. Since we found a leg and not the hypotenuse of the bigger triangle, and the two legs are congruent, that means x is 4.
