Answer:

x =30.7

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

To get this, we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

From what we have, we have the side facing an angle which is the opposite and the side not facing an angle or the right angle; this is the adjacent

The trigonometric identity that links the opposite and the adjacent is called the tan

It is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent

Thus, we have;

tan 61 = x/17

x = 17 * tan 61

x = 30.7
