we must use trigonometric ratios to solve the right triangle

i will use the cosine


\begin{gathered} \cos (\alpha)=(A)/(H) \\ \end{gathered}

where alpha is the angle, a the adjacent side and H the hipotenuse,

so replacing


\cos (73)=(6)/(x)

now solve for x


\begin{gathered} x=(6)/(\cos (73)) \\ \\ x=20.52 \end{gathered}

so the right option is I
