Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{x\approx56.44}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{It's close to 55.0}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\tan12^o\approx0.2126\\\\\tan12^o=\dfrac{12}{x}\to\dfrac{12}{x}=0.2126\qquad\text{convert the decimal to the fraction}\\\\\dfrac{12}{x}=\dfrac{2126}{10000}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\2126x=120000\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2126}\\\\x=\dfrac{120000}{2126}\\\\x\approx56.44[/tex]
