Answer:

x ≈ 20.31

Explanation:

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle,

tan(55°) =
\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

Measure of the opposite side = 29 units

Measure of the adjacent side = x

Substitute these values in the expression,

tan(55) =
(29)/(x)

x =
(29)/(tan(55))

x = 20.306

x ≈ 20.31
