Answer:

Solution given:

Since the given triangle is isosceles and right angled triangle

perpendicular [p]=base[b]=x

hypotenuse [h]=6

we have

by using Pythagoras law

p²+b²=h²

x²+x²=6²

2x²=36

x²=36/2

x²=18

x=[tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex]

x=[tex]\bold{3\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

The length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is [tex]3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

  • Let the perpendicular base be x.

Given the following data:

  • Hypotenuse = 6 units.

To determine the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator, we would apply Pythagorean's Theorem:

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Mathematically, Pythagorean's Theorem is given by this formula:

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have:

[tex]6^2 = x^2 + x^2\\\\36=2x^2\\\\18=x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{18} \\\\x=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]
