The definition of the tangent states that


tanu=adjacentopposite


In our case, this means that


tan27=x13


which gives \displaystyle x=\text{13}\centerdot \text{tan 27}^{\circ }.

NOTE: Using a calculator, we can work out what \displaystyle x\text{ } should be:


\displaystyle x=\text{13}\centerdot \text{tan 27}^{\circ }\approx 6.62
