In this problem we are given an angle and two sides. Therefore, we should use a trigonometric function to solve for x.

Trigonometric Functions: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the 23 degree angle, we have the adjacent side and the opposite side. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

tan(23) = x / 2

x = tan(23) * 2

x = 0.8489

x = 0.8

Hope this helps!
