Answer:

x=75

Explanation:


We\ are\ given\ that:\\AD\ is\ the\ altitude\ of\ \triangle ABC\\Hence,\\ADC=90[As\ altitudes\ intersect\ the\ base\ side\ at\ 90]\\Hence,\\As\ ADC=(x+15)\ and\ ADC=90\\x+15=90\\x=90-15\\x=75

This is only the value of x in terms of AD being an altitude, and is independent off the sides.
