Answer:

Below

Explanation:

For RIGHT triangles

Cos (21°) = adjacent leg / hypotenuse

cos ( 21°) = x / 21

re-arrange to

21 * cos (21°) = x then use calculator to find x = 19.6 units

( it may not look like it from the picture...but the picture is not drawn to scale : a 21° angle is much smaller than pictured)
