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
