This is a right triangle, so we can use the tangent function to find x:

$\begin{gathered} \text{The tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side.} \\ In\text{ this case, the angle we use is 29\degree, the opposite side to this angle is x and the adjacent side is 16, so:} \\ \tan 29=(x)/(16) \\ x=16\cdot\tan 29\approx8.87 \end{gathered}$

The value of x is 8.87
