What is a Right Angled Triangle ?

A triangle that has one angle as 90 degree is called a Right angled Triangle.

In a right angled triangle

the length of the sides can be determined using Pythagoras Theorem

The length of the side is given in the image attached as

x-2 , x , √20

Hypotenuse ² = Perpendicular² + Base²

(√20)² = x² + (x-2)²

20 = x² + x² +4 -4x

2x²-4x -16 = 0

x² -2x -8 = 0

x² - 4x +2x -8 = 0

x (x-4) +2(x-4) = 0

(x+2)(x-4) = 0

x = -2 , 4

The value of x will be 4 .

Therefore Option A is the answer.
