Show all work:

1. Start with the equation (angle in degrees):
tan(56°) = x / 12

2. Multiply both sides by 12 to solve for x:
x = 12 · tan(56°)

3. Evaluate with a calculator:
tan(56°) ≈ 1.4830…
x ≈ 12 · 1.4830… = 17.796…

4. Round as desired:
x ≈ 17.796 (unrounded)
x ≈ 17.80 (rounded to two decimal places)

So x ≈ 17.80 (same units as the 12).
