Answer: 55.4

Remember soh cah toa

tangent = adjacent/opposite

angle is 18 degrees

Opposite is 18

Adjacent is x

So tangent of 18 degrees = 18/x

Use calculator to find tangent of 18 =0.3249

So 0.3249 = 18/x

Reciprocal both sides

3.0777 = x/18

Multiply both sides by 18

x = 55.3983

You may need to round
