Question 456271: 12. What is the approximate value of x in the diagram below, to the nearest tenth?
The diagram is a right triangle with the base = 10, the hypotenuse is x, and the angle opposite of the right angle = 52 degrees.

You have to use trig, that is sine, cosine or tangent. However, your description of the triangle was not enough.
sin(angle) = opposite side/hypotenuse
cos(angle) = adjacent side/hypotenuse
tan(angle) = opposite side/adjacent side
