Hi there!

In order to solve for x, we'll need to use a trigonometry ratio. In this case, we'll use tangent, which is opposite over adjacent.

Here is our equation:
tan(37)/1 = x/2.1

Cross-Multiply:
x = tan(37) * 2.1

Solve:
x = 1.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
