Find The Value Of X In The Isosceles Triangle Shown Below class=

Answer :

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x = y + y

Now using Pythagoras theorem :

                                    [tex]15^2 = y^2 + 12^2\\225 = y^2 + 144\\225 - 144 = y^2\\81 = y^2\\9 = y[/tex]

Therefore , x = y + y = 18

Answer:

(x/2)²+12² =15²

(x/2)²+144=225

(x/2)²=225-144

x²/4. =81

x² =81×4

x. =√81×4

x. =9×2

x. =18

answer is option A
