[Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
[Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Angle θ = 40°

Opposite Leg = x

Adjacent Leg = 21

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute in variables [tangent]: $\displaystyle tan(40^\circ) = \frac{x}{21}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Isolate x: $\displaystyle 21tan(40^\circ) = x$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle x = 21tan(40^\circ)$
Evaluate: $\displaystyle x = 17.6211$
Round: $\displaystyle x \approx 17.6$
