Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle at the left corner is A, so the angle at the rIght corner should be (180-90-A) = (90-A).

In the left triangle:

tanA = 8√5/16 = √(5)/2

Thus,

cotA = 1/tanA = 2/√5

In the right triangle:

tan(90-A) = 8√5/x

cotA = 8√5/x [tan(90-x) = cotx]

2/√5 = 8√5/x

x = 20
