Answer:
4√6
Step-by-step explanation:
The line marked x meets the base of the isosceles triangle at its midpoint, so dividing the triangle into two congruent right triangles with leg 5 and hypotenuse 11.
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find x:
5² + x² = 11²
x² = 121 -25 . . . . . . subtract 25 from both sides of the equation
x = √96 . . . . . . . . . take the square root
x = 4√6 . . . . . . . . . simplify the radical
