Answer:

2. x ≈ 17.74

3. x ≈ 16.64

Explanation:

The tangent function relates an angle to the opposite and adjacent sides of a right triangle:

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here, we're looking for the measure of the side opposite the angle, so we can rearrange this relation to ...

Opposite = Adjacent×Tan

__

2. x = 32×tan(29°) ≈ 17.74

3. x = 13×tan(52°) ≈ 16.64

_____

Hopefully, we've given enough decimal places so that you can round to the precision you need.
