The value of x is 60
<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>The complete question is added as an image
From the image, we have:
ABD = 30
DBC = x
The sum of complementary angles is 90.
So, we have:
30 + x = 90
Subtract 30 from both sides
x = 60
Hence, the value of x is 60

Answer:
The base is 4cm and the height is 5cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a solve the system question. Call H the height of the triangle and B the base. The question tells us:
and
Sub the first equation into the second (as H is already isolated). You will end up with a quadratic equation - solve that any way you wish (e.g. quadratic formula). I've provided the factored form below which shows you the roots:
In this question, we take B=4. You can't have a negative side length so the other answer is eliminated. Now sub the value for B into either of the original equations. I'll use the first, again because H is already isolated:
