Answer:

Triangle 1 -
m\angle A = 58^(\circ), hypotenuse = 16


x \approx 8.479

Triangle 2 -
m \angle A = 44^(\circ), adjacent leg = 18


x \approx 17.382

Triangle 3 -
m\angle A = 49^(\circ), opposite leg = 12


x \approx 15.900

Explanation:

Each triangle is solved by means of trigonometric relations:

Triangle 1 -
m\angle A = 58^(\circ), hypotenuse = 16


\cos 58^(\circ) = (x)/(16)


x = 16\cdot \cos 58^(\circ)


x \approx 8.479

Triangle 2 -
m \angle A = 44^(\circ), adjacent leg = 18


\tan 44^(\circ) = (x)/(18)


x = 18\cdot \tan 44^(\circ)


x \approx 17.382

Triangle 3 -
m\angle A = 49^(\circ), opposite leg = 12


\sin 49^(\circ) = (12)/(x)


x = (12)/(\sin 49^(\circ))


x \approx 15.900
