Answer:
[tex]x=7.8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In any right triangle, the sine of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.
The angle marked 33 degrees has its opposite side labelled with [tex]x[/tex] and the hypotenuse of the triangle labelled with 12.
Thus, we can set up the following equation to solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]\tan 33^{\circ}=\frac{x}{12},\\x=12\tan 33^{\circ}=7.79289111837\approx \boxed{7.8}[/tex]
