Answer:

   16.5 ≈ x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a right triangle where we know 1 side, 1 angle and we need to find another side. We can use trigonometric functions to find the missing side.

The tangent function definition is

tan α = opposite side/ adjacent side

In our problem

   tan 70° = x/ 6, multiply both sides by 6 to isolate x

6 · tan 70° = x, use the calculator (make sure is set in degrees)

    16.4848 ≈ x , round to the nearest tenths

         16.5 ≈ x
