Answer :

Answer:

x ≈ 20.31

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle,

tan(55°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

Measure of the opposite side = 29 units

Measure of the adjacent side = x

Substitute these values in the expression,

tan(55) = [tex]\frac{29}{x}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{29}{tan(55)}[/tex]

x = 20.306

x ≈ 20.31
