We can use Trig to solve this problem. The trig function Tangent will help us.

Tangent=opposite/adjacent

Therefore:

Tan(41°)=12/x.

(12)Tan (41°)=x because we multiplied 12 on both sides to isolate X.

X=10.43 because we plugged the above statement into the calculator.

The answer: X=10.4 by rounding.
