Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Pythagorean Theorem Question

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c= sqrt(5)

a = x

b = x            This is an isosceles right triangle. The vertical side and the horizontal side are equal.

x^2 + x^2  =  sqrt(5)^2

2x^2 = 5                           Divide both sides by 2

x^2 = 5/2                          Take the sqrt of both sides.

√x^2 = √5 / √2                Multiply right side by √2 on both top and bottom

x = √5*√2 / √2*√2

x = √10 /2
