Answer 1

x = 21

Explanation:

Givens:

Every triangle's interior angles add up to 180°

The triangle has a right angle.

The triangle is isosceles (two equal sides and two equal angles)

Let's make an equation with the information we have already.

2 × (2x + 3) + 90 = 180

4x + 6 + 90 = 180

4x + 96 = 180

4x = 84

x = 21
