Answer:
x = 15.04
Step-by-step explanation:
For the angle measuring 42.7 deg, 16.3 is trhe adjacent leg, and x is the opposite leg.
The trig ratio that relates the opposuite leg to the adjacent leg is the tangent ratio.
tan A = opp/adj
tan 42.7 deg = x/16.3
x = 16.3 * tan 42.7 deg
x = 15.04
Answer: x = 15.04
