Answer:

2.8

Explanation:

tan = opposite / adjacent

( opposite = side opposite of the angle and adjacent = side length that is not the opposite nor the hypotenuse ( longest side ) )

we are given an angle, ∠E = 26°

tanE = x / 5.7

tan26 = x / 5.7

==> multiply both sides by 5.7

5.7tan26 = x

==> simplify

x = 2.8 ( rounded )
