### Solve for \( x \)

Given the right-angled triangle ABC, the problem requires solving for the length of side \( x \).

#### Diagram:
A diagram is provided displaying a right-angled triangle:
- Point \( A \) is at the right angle.
- \(\angle CAB = 38^\circ\).
- The length of \( AB \) (adjacent to the 38-degree angle) is given as 45 units.
- Side \( BC \) is the hypotenuse.
- Side \( AC \) is \( x \).

Using trigonometric ratios, particularly the tangent function, you can determine the length of \( x \):
\[ \tan(38^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{x}{45} \]

So, we can solve for \( x \):
\[ x = 45 \times \tan(38^\circ) \]

Finally, round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

### Input Section:
Below the problem statement, there is an input field to enter your answer:
\[ x = \underline{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \ \text{(Round to the nearest hundredth.)} \]

Use the input box to type in your calculated value, then click "Check Answer".
