Here, ABCD is square.
Here AC and BD are diagonals.
We know that the angles of a square are bisected by the diagonals.
∴ ∠OBX = 45° ∵∠ABC = 90° and BD bisects ∠ABC
And ∠BOX = ∠COD = 80° … Vertically opposite angles
∴ In ∆BOX, we have:
∠AXO = ∠OBX + ∠BOX … Exterior angle theorem
⇒ ∠AXO = 45° + 80° = 125°
∴ x =125°
