Answer:


x=15.3

Explanation:

In right triangles only:

The sine of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. (o/h)

The cosine of an angle is equal to its adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse. (a/h)

The tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divided by its adjacent side. (o/a)

Therefore, we have the following equation:


\sin 58^(\circ)=(x)/(18),\\x=18\sin 58^(\circ)\approx \boxed{15.3}

Alternative:


\cos 32^(\circ)=(x)/(18),\\x=18\cos32^(\circ)\approx \boxed{15.3}
