Answer:

9.0, B

Explanation:

Remember: SOH CAH TOA

sine is opp/hyp, cos is adj/hyp, and tan is opp/adj

In this case, you want to use tan because the sides you want to work with are the opposite and adjacent sides.

The opposite side is x, and the adjacent side is 12.

tan(x)= opp/adj

tan(37°)= x/12

12(tan(37°))= x

12(0.75))= x

9= x

So, the answer is 9.0, B.
