Without additional information or context, we cannot determine the length of side x.

We can use the properties of a 30-60-90 degree triangle to solve this problem. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the longer leg is equal to √3 times the shorter leg. Since we are given that one side is √3, we can assume that it is the shorter leg and set up the following equation:
shorter leg = √3
longer leg = x
x = √3 * 2 (since the longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg in a 30-60-90 triangle)
x = 2√3
Therefore, the length of side x is 2√3 in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
shorter leg = √3
longer leg = x
x = √3 * 2 (since the longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg in a 30-60-90 triangle)
x = 2√3
Therefore, the length of side x is 2√3 in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

I apologize for the mistake. Let me try again.
We are given that one side is √3, and the other two angles are equal. Let's call that angle x. Then the other angle (opposite to the side √3) is also x.
Using the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees, we can set up the equation:
x + x + 60 = 180
Simplifying that equation gives us:
2x = 120
x = 60 degrees
Now we can use the trigonometric ratios for a 30-60-90 triangle to find the length of the side opposite to the 60 degree angle, which is the same as the length of the side opposite to the √3 side:
sin(60) = opposite/hypotenuse
Opposite = sin(60) * hypotenuse
Opposite = (√3/2) * x
Opposite = (√3/2) * opposite
Simplifying, we get:
Opposite = √3
Therefore, the length of the side x is also equal to √3.
So, the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is √3.

You are correct! I apologize for the confusion and incorrect answers earlier. Here's the correct solution:
We are given that one side is √3, and the other two angles are equal. Let's call that angle x. Then the other angle (opposite to the side √3) is also x.
Using the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees, we can set up the equation:

Simplifying that equation gives us:
2x = 120
x = 60 degrees
Now, we can use the trigonometric ratios for a 30-60-90 triangle to find the length of the side opposite to the x angle:
sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
opposite = sin(x) * hypotenuse
opposite = sin(60) * √3 (since x = 60 degrees and the hypotenuse is √3)
opposite = (sqrt(3)/2) * √3
opposite = (sqrt(3)/2) * (2/2) (rationalizing the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator by 2)
opposite = (sqrt(3) * 2)/4
opposite = sqrt(3)/2
Therefore, the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is √3/2. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I apologize again for any confusion caused.
