Given the Right Triangle shown in the exercise, you need to use the following Trigonometric Function in order to find the measure of "x":


tan\alpha=(opposite)/(adjacent)

In this case, you can identify that:


\begin{gathered} \alpha=21° \\ opposite=x \\ adjacent=18 \end{gathered}

Then, by substituting values and solving for "x", you get:


\begin{gathered} tan(21\text{\degree})=(x)/(18) \\ \\ 18\cdot tan(21\text{\degree})=x \end{gathered}
x\approx6.9

Hence, the answer is:


x\approx6.9
