Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you figure out which function your going to use. I notice that from the angle we have 5 which is the opposite side and 23 which is the adjacent side. This means we have to use tangent.

Then set up your equation: tan(x)=5/23. This is because the opposite side is 5 and the adjacent is 23 and it must be set up in that order.

Next get x alone by making the equation: x=tan^-1(5/23).

Then put it into the calculator and round to get 12.
