Solve for x for the triangle

Solve For X For The Triangle class=

Answer :

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle in the picture is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x.

[tex](\sqrt{5})^2 +(\sqrt{5} )^2=x^2[/tex]          [exponent]

[tex]5+5=x^2[/tex]                         [add]

[tex]10=x^2[/tex]                             [square root both sides]

[tex]x=\sqrt{10}[/tex]

Therefore, we know that C is the correct answer.
