the angles inside a triangle = 180°.

You can see that this is a right triangle so one of the angles equals 90°. 180-90= 90°.

Now we can see the remaining two angles add up to 2x. So if we put all our work together 2x= 45°.
Divide both sides by 2 to get x alone

And we come to that x equals 22.5.

x= 22.5°

Answer:

45 degrees

Explanation:

Before we start, it is important to know that the sum of all angles of a triangle adds up to 180. Since one of the angle measure is already given to us, 90, we can subtract this from 180.

180-90=90

This tells us that the two remaining angles will add together to equal 90. In addition, it also tells us that the two remaining angles are equal. This means we can divide 90 by 2, and it leaves us that x= 45 degrees.
