Answer:

The value of x is 10cm

Explanation:

The triangle given is a right angled triangle.

so two angles of the triangle is known,

let it be a=45

b= 90

and c=45, since its a right angled triangle.

to find out the sides of the triangle, we use the formula

tan45= opposite side/ adjacent side= 10/x; value of tan 90 is 1

so, 1= 10/x

x= 10cm

This is basically using SOH CAH TOA method, that is, sine theeta cosine theeta and tangent theeta.
