Answer:
65.4
for this triangle we use the SOHCAHTOA rules because it is a right angled triangle.
so the rule used here is [tex]Tan x= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
[tex]Tan (17)= \frac{20}{x}[/tex]
we cross multiply both sides
[tex]\frac{tan(17)}{1} =\frac{20}{x}[/tex]
[tex]tan(17)x=20[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{20}{tan(17)} =65.41705237[/tex]
the question said to the nearest tenth, so 65.4 is the final answer
