Answer:

B. 16.5

Explanation:

Here we can use the opposite and the adjacent from the angle with measurement 20, or tan.

tan theta = opposite / adjacent

Substitute values.

tan 20 = 6 / x

Multiply by x.

x * tan 20 = 6

Divide by tan 20.

x = 6 / tan 20

Evaluate tan 20.

x = 6 / 0.36397023

Divide.

x = 16.48486451

Rounded to the nearest tenth, that makes your answer

B, 16.5
