Answer:

x is 34.28 rounded to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Since it is a right-angled triangle, using Pythagoras' rule; SOH/CAH/TOA

Since the known variables are: Opposite(19), Adjacent(x), and Theta(29°);

So, TOA would be used;

tan 29° = 19 / x (cross multiply) Making x the subject of the formula;

x = 19 / tan 29° = 34.276 = 34.28 rounded to the nearest hundredth

x = 34.28
