Answer:

x = 63.4

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

To do this , we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

The side facing x is 12, this is called the opposite

6 is the third side and it is called the adjacent

The trigonometric identity that links both is tan

Tan is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent

Thus,

tan x = 12/6

tan x = 2

x = tan^-1 (2)

x = 63.4
