Answer:
x = √(10)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the measure of the side marked x
what we have is an isosceles right triangle since the two acute angles of the right triangle are 45 degrees each
Hence, the other last side will measure x too
Mathematically, according to Pythagoras’; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus;
x^2 + x^2 = (√5)^2
2x^2 = 5
x^2 = 5/2
x = √(5/2)
x = √5/√2
Rationalizing the denominator;
x = (√2 * √5)/(√2 * √2)
x = √10/2
we have
The solution is the shaded area above the dotted line
therefore
The answer in the attached figure
I say D you should probably wait for another answer though
