Answer:
x ≈ 13.8
Step-by-step explanation:
using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan41° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × tan41° = 12 ( divide both sides by tan41° )
x = [tex]\frac{12}{tan41}[/tex] ≈ 13.8 ( to the nearest tenth )
