In the given triangle,
Two sides are equal and the angle made by joining them is 90o.
Let the other angles be y (∵ equal sides have equal angles opposite to them)
For the given triangle,
Sum of all angles = 180o
Or, y + y + 90o = 180o
Or, 2y = 180o - 90o
Or, y = 90o2 = 45o
∵ The two horizontal lines are parallel to each other.
∴ X = 45o + y (∵ interior alternate angles are equal)
Or, X = 45o + 45o = 90o
