Answer:

The opposite side x is 7

Explanation:

Step one

From the given expression in the picture

We can estimate x by applying the

SOH CAH TOA rule on the triangle

Since we have one side and one angle given

step two

From the given picture we have

We have θ and adjacent side given

Hence we need to apply

tan θ= opposite/adjacent =

Tan 35°=x/10

Step three

From 4 figure table or calculator

tan 35° is 0.7

0.7=x/10

x=0.7*10

x= 7
