Answer:
x ≈ 23.4
Step-by-step explanation:
You are correct that the given information indicates the tangent function is appropriate.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(59°) = 39/x
Multiply this equation by x/tan(59°) and you get ...
x = 39/tan(59°)
x ≈ 39/1.6643 ≈ 23.43
The appropriate answer choice is ...
x = 23.4
