Answer:

65.4

for this triangle we use the SOHCAHTOA rules because it is a right angled triangle.

so the rule used here is
Tan x= (opposite)/(adjacent)


Tan (17)= (20)/(x)

we cross multiply both sides


(tan(17))/(1) =(20)/(x)


tan(17)x=20


x=(20)/(tan(17)) =65.41705237

the question said to the nearest tenth, so 65.4 is the final answer
