With respect to the angle x, we have

opposite side (47)

adjacent side (22)

Which trig ratio relates "opposite" and "adjacent".

It is tan!

Thus,

we can write

$\tan x=(47)/(22)$

We can take the inverse tan of (47/22) to find x. Shown below:

$\begin{gathered} \tan x=(47)/(22) \\ x=\tan ^(-1)((47)/(22)) \\ x=64.92\degree \end{gathered}$ Answer
$x=64.92\degree$
