To find x we need to use the tangent function, remember that this is defined as:

[tex]\tan \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adj}}[/tex]

For the angle of 60° then we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan 60=\frac{20}{x} \\ x=\frac{20}{\tan 60} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the expression we can use is option C.
