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

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
