Answer:
x = [tex]5\sqrt{2}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says that the hypotenuse is 10, while the other two sides are both x. That means that the triangle is a 45-45-90 angle.
Because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, the proportions of the side lengths are 1-1-sqrt(2).
Since the hypotenuse is 10, and the side length is x, we can make a proportion.
[tex]\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} =\frac{x}{1}[/tex]
[tex]x\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 10
x = [tex]\frac{10}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{10 * (\sqrt{2} )}{(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2} ) }[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{10\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex]
x = [tex]5\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
