Answer:
x = 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram,
Applying
tanФ = Opposite/Adjacent...................... Equation 1
From the diagram,
Given: Opposite = 16, Adjacent = x, Ф = 52°
Substitute these values into equation 1
tan52° = 16/x
make x the subject of the equation
x = 16/tan52°
x = 16/1.27994
x = 12.5.
