Since this is a right triangle we can use soh cah toa to solve

we will use the angle of 49 degrees to solve this one

SOH CAH TOA

since we need to solve the opposite side of the angle and we have the adjacent we must be using tangent

TOA

Tan(49)=Opp (side we are trying to solve for)
               ----------------------------
                          55 (our adjacent side)

now we multiple 55 by both sides and we have:

55*tan(49)= Opp (side we are trying to solve for)

Opp=63.27

63.27= side x
