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.
