Answer:

x = 35.98

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle

The unlabelled side represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With 17 degrees as the reference angle,

x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

The length of the opposite side of the right angle triangle is 11

θ = 17 degrees

To determine x, we would apply trigonometric ratio

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 17= 11/x

0.3057 = 11/x

Crossmultiplying,

0.3057x = 11

x = 11/0.3057 = 35.98
