Answer

$\approx 14.4$

Work Step by Step

The Trigonometric ratios for $tangent$ function can be written as follows: $\ Tan \theta=\dfrac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ We are given that the length of Adjacent and the angle. Our aim is to compute the side of opposite to the angle. Therefore, $\tan 64^{\circ}=\dfrac{x}{7}$ This implies that $x= 7 \tan 64^{\circ} \approx 14.4$
