Answer:

21.4

Explanation:

For this problem, you only need to know that the hypotenuse (x) is the longest side of the triangle. The only answer choice longer than 20 is ...

x = 21.4

__

If you want to actually go through the numbers, you know that ...

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos(21°) = 20/x

x = 20/cos(21°)

x ≈ 21.4
