x is 45° (45 degrees.)
To find this out, we first need to understand the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has opposite sides that are equal, but more importantly, all 4 interior angles of a rectangle are right angles, meaning they are all 90 degrees. These can also be denoted by 4 square boxes in each corner.
When a rectangle is cut diagonally, the rectangle becomes two right triangles, but when joined together, of course make a rectangle. When they are cut diagonally, the triangles are congruent triangles by the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) Congruence property.
To find the missing x in this angle, we must know that x is apart of a right angle, and if 45 is next to it, x must also be 45 degrees (90-45 = 45)
Hope this helped!
