Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

the angle in a semicircle is 90°

given the legs of the triangle are congruent then the triangle is isosceles with the 2 base angles congruent.

the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

base angle = (180 - 90)° ÷ 2 = 90° ÷ 2 = 45° , then

2x - 5 = 45 ( add 5 to both sides )

2x = 50 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 25
