Transcribed Image Text:The problem on the image asks: "Find the length of side \( x \) in simplest radical form with a rational denominator."
The diagram accompanying the question depicts a right triangle. The triangle has a right angle (indicated by a small square in the corner). The sides of the triangle are labeled as follows:
- One leg of the triangle is labeled \( x \).
- The other leg of the triangle is unlabeled.
- The hypotenuse is labeled as \( 1 \).
The task involves using properties of right triangles to find the length of side \( x \) in its simplest radical form, ensuring the result has a rational denominator.
