Answer:
x = 59
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the trig ratio involving the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle is the tangent ratio.
... Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Here, the side opposite the angle x is shown as length 5. The adjacent side is length 3. Then ...
... tan(x°) = 5/3
... x° = arctan(5/3) ≈ 59° . . . . . . . . be sure your calculator is in degrees mode
The value of x is 59.
