Answer:

B. 16.7

Explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relationship between the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse involves the cosine function:

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Filling in the numbers from your diagram gives ...

cos(50°) = x/26

Multiplying by 26 gives x.

x = 26·cos(50°)

x ≈ 16.7
