Answer:

for Part A

Answer is C.

Explanation:

$\tan(a) = (opposite)/(adjacent ) \\$

Here the angle, a is 60°, Opposite is 20 and adjacent is x.

Therefore we have,

$\tan(60 ) = (20)/(x)$

Making x the subject gives us

$x = (20)/( \tan(60) )$

Part B

Value of x to the nearest tenth

$x = 11.547 \\ to \: the \: nearest \: tenth \\ x = 12$
