Correct Answer: $(90 ^{\circ}–x)$
Solution : Given: $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle PQR$ are two triangles. AB = PQ = 6 cm, BC = QR =10 cm and AC = PR = 8 cm. Also, $\angle ABC = x$. We know that the sum of all interior angles of the triangle is $180^{\circ}$. By the SSS (side– side– side) rule, two triangles are congruent if all three of their sides are equal to the corresponding three of the second triangle. In $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle PQR$, AB = PQ = 6 cm (given) BC = QR =10 cm (given) AC = PR = 8 cm (given) So, $\triangle ABC\cong \triangle PQR$ (by SSS rule) ⇒ $\angle PRQ=\angle ACB$ (congruent parts of the congruent triangle are equal) Now, $\angle ABC = x$ ⇒ $\angle ACB= (90^{\circ}–x)=\angle PRQ$ Hence, the correct answer is $(90^{\circ}–x)$.
