To find x use SohCahToa (sin, cos, tan). In this case, we are given the adjacent, and we are looking for the opposite of the angle. This means that tangent should be used. The equation should be set up as . Then, to isolate the variable multiply both sides by 3.6. This means that the new equation 3.6tan(58)=x. Finally, plug this into a calculator to solve. The final answer is 5.8.
