Answer:


7√(3)

Explanation:

This is a special triangle with the angles being 30-60-90. The adjacent side to the angle of 30 degrees has a length of x * sqrt(3). The opposite side has a length of x. Since the opposite side has a length of 7 here you simply plug that into x * sqrt(3) to find the length of the adjacent side of the angle 30 degrees which gives you 7 * sqrt(3)
