. . .and a capacitive reactance of 100 Ω is 40.0°. What is the value of the resistor in this circuit?
A)200 Ω
B)265 Ω
C)119 Ω
D)100 Ω
E)156 Ω
If you could walk me through the steps, that would be great! Thanks!

It is 90 - 40 = 50 degree with the resistive Component.
Hence tan 50 = R(Resistive Component),Resistance/ 100
or, R= 1.19*100 = 119 Ω
or, R= 119Ω
Therefore, C) 119 Ω is the answer.
