Answer:
x ≈ 14.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan73° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{48}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × tan73° = 48 ( divide both sides by tan73° )
x = [tex]\frac{48}{tan73}[/tex] ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )
