hint: we have a right isosceles triangle, so we can write: \(\sqrt 2=y\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

after that I apply the theorem of Pitagora, so I can write this: \[\Large {x^2} = {y^2} + {2^2}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

more precisely I meant that we have a isosceles right triangle

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Alright

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Option D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!! :)

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here, we have a \(30-60-90\) triangle, so we have: \[y = \frac{{10}}{2} = ...?\] then, in order to find \(x\), I apply the theorem of Pitagora: \[{x^2} + {y^2} = {10^2}\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

5

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! And what is \(x\) ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we can write this: \[\Large \begin{gathered} {x^2} + {y^2} = {10^2} \Rightarrow {x^2} = {10^2} - {y^2} = 100 - 25 = 75 \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {x^2} = 75 \Rightarrow x = \sqrt {75} = \sqrt {25 \times 3} = \sqrt {{5^2} \times 3} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

8.660

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! :) Better is \(x= 5 \times \sqrt 3\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the right option?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

A

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!
