Explanation:

Step1: Recall angle - sum property of a triangle

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
Let the three angles of the triangle be 90°, \(x\), and \(x\). So, the equation is \(90 + x+x=180\).

Step2: Simplify the equation

Combine like - terms: \(90 + 2x=180\).
Subtract 90 from both sides: \(2x=180 - 90\), so \(2x = 90\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Divide both sides of the equation \(2x = 90\) by 2. We get \(x=\frac{90}{2}=45\).

Answer:

45
