Answer:

D

Explanation:

The function you need to use is the Tan(39).

Tan(x) = opposite / adjacent.

The opposite side does not make up the reference angle.

In this case, the opposite side = x

The adjacent side is not the hypotenuse and does make up the reference angle (which is not the right angle).

opposite = x

adjacent = 68

Tan(39) = x / 68 Multiply by 68

68*Tan(39) = x Divide by Tan(39)

Tan(39) = 0.9098

68*.9098 = x

x = 55.07
