Question

Find the value of X in the triangle below.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 root 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows that the other two sides are equal. So, by Pythagorean’s theorem,

X^2 + X^2 = 8^2

2x^2 = 64

X^2 = 64/2 = 32

X = root of 32

X = 4 root 2

Sorry, don’t have the square root symbol

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is, 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is of a right angled triangle.

According to the trigonometry ratios,

$sin\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

The length of the hypotenuse is 8 and the perpendicular is x.

Determine the value of x as follows:

$sin\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\sin 90^{0}=\frac{x}{8}\\1=\frac{x}{8}\\x=8$

Thus, the value of x is 8.
