\begin{gathered} \text{From the image, we are provided with the following information:} \\ \text{Opposite side: X} \\ \text{Adjacent side: 9} \end{gathered}
\text{The suitable trigonometry ratio to use is the Tangent}
\begin{gathered} \text{Thus,} \\ \text{Tan 38=}\frac{opposite}{\text{adjacent}} \\ \text{Tan 38=}(x)/(9) \\ x=9* Tan\text{ 38} \\ x=7.03 \end{gathered}

Hence, the missing side is 7.03
