To solve for x we can use trigonometry since the triangle above is right triangle. In this problem, it would be the easiest to use the TOA ratio which means the tangent of 62 equals x/40. To get x alone, we can multiply both sides by 40 leaving us with: x = tan. 62 x 40 x = 1.88072646535 x 40 x = <span>75.229058614
