So a good trick to remember with trig is "SOH CAH TOA"


Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent


For here, since we have the opposite side and are solving for the adjacent side, we are using tangent. Our equation will look like this:
(tan(25))/(1)=(10)/(x)


Firstly, cross multiply:
tan(25)*x=10


Next, divide both sides by tan(25), and your answer will be x = 21.4.
