14

x = [?]V

Answer:
x = 14[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is 45- 45- 90 then it is isosceles with the 2 legs being congruent, both 14
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
x² = 14² + 14² = 196 + 196 = 392 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{392}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{196(2)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{196}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 14[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
