Answer:

x = 55.6

Explanation:

Recall the 3 main trig functions

Sin = opposite / hypotenuse

Cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tan = opposite / adjacent

Note that hypotenuse = longest side length

We want to find angle "x".

We are given its opposite side length ( 19 ) as well as the adjacent side length

When dealing with the opposite and adjacent we use tan

Tan = Opp / Adj

Opp = 19 and Adj = 13

Tan(x) = 19/13

* take the inverse tan of both sides *

x = 55.6
