A. [tex]105^{\circ}[/tex]
B. [tex]115^{\circ}[/tex]
C. [tex]125^{\circ}[/tex]
D. [tex]135^{\circ}[/tex]

Let's consider the problem of finding the value of the angle [tex]\( x \)[/tex] when a corner of a rectangle is cut, forming a trapezoid. To break this problem down step-by-step:

1. Understand the Basics of a Rectangle:
- A rectangle's corner forms a right angle, i.e., [tex]\( 90^\circ \)[/tex].
- The sum of angles around a point is [tex]\( 360^\circ \)[/tex].

2. Cutting a Corner of the Rectangle:
- When we cut a corner of the rectangle, we are effectively removing the [tex]\( 90^\circ \)[/tex] corner.
- The newly formed trapezoid with the cut will have its angles summing up to these remaining portions of angles around the corner point.

3. Trigonometric Considerations:
- Given that [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is the angle we are trying to find and is the remaining part, we need to see how many degrees it accounts for.

4. Angle Calculation:
- Since one of the angles was [tex]\( 90^\circ \)[/tex], removing this angle from [tex]\( 360^\circ \)[/tex] results in identifying the remaining [tex]\( 270^\circ \)[/tex].
- The remaining angle [tex]\( x \)[/tex] thus would be one of the following: [tex]\( 105^\circ \)[/tex], [tex]\( 115^\circ \)[/tex], [tex]\( 125^\circ \)[/tex], or [tex]\( 135^\circ \)[/tex].

After analyzing these steps, let's understand why the precise solution leads to [tex]\( x \)[/tex] being none of the options provided. Given that the remaining calculations and configurations of the angles don't align perfectly with a simple [tex]\( 270^\circ\)[/tex] split due to curated (specifically constructed) interval options, we conclude that the angle [tex]\( x \)[/tex] does not match the given choices.

Thus, the final solution to this problem would be:
[tex]\[ \boxed{None} \][/tex]
