You need another variable to find the actual answer, so I'm not sure how you got 39.4, but it would be Tan(P) = x/40 because as you already figured out, you use opposite/adjacent. So x=40Tan(P)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh, wait, P is on the outside, not the inside, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If that is true, then it should be Tan(180-P)=x/40. It is 180 - P because it is a supplementary angle.
