To answer this question, we will use the trigonometric function tangent. Recall that in a right triangle:

$\tan \theta=\frac{opposite\text{ leg}}{adjacent\text{ leg}}.$

In the given triangle, θ=25°, adjacent leg=x, and opposite leg=10, therefore:

$\tan 25^(\circ)=(10)/(x).$

Solving the above equation for x, we get:

$x=(10)/(tan25^(\circ)).$

Simplifying the above result we get:

$x\approx21.45.$

Answer:

$x\approx21.45$
