Find the length of side xx in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Answer:
[tex]\frac{5\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 5 by [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] , then rationalize denominator
Answer:
Solution given:
Since the given triangle is isosceles and right angled triangle
perpendicular [p]=base[b]=x
hypotenuse [h]=5
we have
by using Pythagoras law
p²+b²=h²
x²+x²=5²
2x²=25
x²=25/2
x²=18
x=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{25}{2}}[/tex]
x=[tex]\bold{\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}}[/tex]
