Answer:

x=144.33

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle:

• The side ,opposite, angle 60 degrees = 250

,

• The length of the ,adjacent, = x

From trigonometric functions:


\tan \theta=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} \tan 60\degree=(250)/(x) \\ x\tan 60\degree=250 \\ x=(250)/(\tan60\degree) \\ x=(250)/(1.7321) \\ x=144.33 \end{gathered}
