The triangle given in the exercise is a Right Triangle because the square inside it indicates that it has an angle that measures 90 degrees.

Then, you can use the following Trigonometric Function:


\sin \alpha=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)

In this case:


\begin{gathered} \alpha=31\degree_{} \\ opposite=11 \\ hypotenuse=x \end{gathered}

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


\begin{gathered} \sin (31\degree)=(11)/(x) \\ \\ x\cdot\sin (31\degree)=11 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} x=(11)/(\sin (31\degree)) \\ \\ x\approx21.4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is:


x\approx21.4
