What is the value of x in the triangle shown below?

Answer:
your question is incomplete
Step-by-step explanation:
I am spamming your question please mark me brainliest please then I will give you thanksThe velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of an object's speed and direction of motion
Step-by-step explanation:
You could notice we have two equal angles, and thus an isosceles triangle, so the two sides opposite the 45 degree angles must be equal, and so must both be √2. Since we have two 45 degree angles, the third angle must be 90 degrees, so we can use Pythagoras to find x:
(√2)^2 + (√2)^2 = x^2
2 + 2 = x^2
4 = x^2
2 = x
Or you can just notice we have a 45-45-90 triangle, so the hypotenuse is √2 times as long as either short side. Since the short side here is √2, then the hypotenuse x is (√2)(√2) = 2.

The remaining angle is 90 degrees. So, this is an isosceles right triangle of 45:45:90 properties, where the sides are
Thus the hypotenuse
The answer is

SOLUTION:
In the given triangle sin 45 =perpendicular / hypotneuse
=> 1/√2 = √2 /x
=>x = 2 (OPTION B)
Hope this helps :thumbsup:
