I don't have the diagram, so I can't be sure how the 8 and x are placed. Could you either upload the picture or tell me:
- which side(s) are equal (which sides are the two congruent sides)?
- which side is labeled 8 and which is labeled x?
- any angle measures or other markings?
Common interpretations (in case one of these is what you meant):
- If the triangle is isosceles right with hypotenuse 8 and the two legs are equal to x, then x = 8/√2 = 4√2 ≈ 5.7 (nearest tenth).
- If the two equal sides are both length 8 and x is the base, more information (an angle or altitude) is needed to find x.
- If the two equal sides are both x and the base is 8, again you need an angle or altitude to determine x.
Send the diagram or those extra details and I’ll compute x.
