Answer:

tan x = 3/4.

Explanation:

We know sin means
(Opp)/(Hyp) in a right triangle. This means that the Hypotenuse= 5, and the Opposite side= 3.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can determine that the 'Adjacent' side= 4.

The formula for 'tan' is
(Opp)/(Adj). If we plug in our values, we get:

tan x = 3/4.
