Answer:

x = 59

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.
