The value of x can be found by using the Tangent Trigonometric ratio, which is given as


\tan \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adj}}

From the question, we have the following values:


\begin{gathered} \theta=38\degree \\ \text{opp }=19 \\ \text{adj }=x \end{gathered}

Substituting the values, we have


\tan 38=(19)/(x)

Solving, we have:


\begin{gathered} 0.7813=(19)/(x) \\ \therefore \\ x=(19)/(0.7813) \\ x=24.31\approx24.3 \end{gathered}

The correct answer is 24.3 units.
