Original equation:
tan(56°) = x / 12

Solve for x (multiply both sides by 12):
x = 12 · tan(56°)

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode, then evaluate:
tan(56°) ≈ 1.482560968
x ≈ 12 · 1.482560968 ≈ 17.7907316

Rounded to two decimal places:
x ≈ 17.79

(Check: x/12 ≈ 17.79/12 ≈ 1.4825 ≈ tan(56°).)
