Answer:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{30} }{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can us pythagorean theorem to find x

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

All sides equal [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] but this one was split in half so we divide it by 2

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2} ^2+b^2=\sqrt{10}^2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10}{4} +b^2=10[/tex]

[tex]2.5+b^2=10[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 2.5

[tex]b^2=7.5[/tex]

Square root both sides

[tex]b=\sqrt{7.5}[/tex]

I hope this helps
