THE THETA(ANGLE) FACING THE SIDE IS CONSIDERED AS BASE. WE HAVE GIVEN BASE=2x AND HYPOTENUSE=x , USING COS(ANGLE)= BASE\HYPOTENUSE, WE GET ANGLE=60DEGREE.

Dear Student,

Explanation- Cos ϴ= Base/Hypotenuse,
so, we can write cosϴ= AB/BC where ϴ is a angle between AB and CB,
Now comparing
cosϴ= 1/2 (cos 60°=1/2)
Cosϴ= Cos 60°
ϴ= 60°
for Triangle
∠A+∠B+∠C = 180°
90°+60°+∠C = 180°
∠C = 180°-150°
∠C = 30°


Hope you have a great learning with us!!

All the Best,
