Answer:
x ≈ 4.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = 75°
Opposite side to reference angle = 17
Adjacent side = x
Applying TOA:
Tan 75 = opp/adj
Tan 75 = 17/x
Multiply both sides by x
x*Tan 75 = 17
Divide both sides by Tan 75
x = 17/Tan 75
x ≈ 4.6

Toby ...
Look at the drawing I made.
It's attached to my answer.
You can count the blocks.
Also ... stay inside tonight.
There's still going to be more rain around here.
