Answer:

c=21.6

Explanation:

First, find the last angle of the triangle.

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

A+90+37=180

A=53

Now find x

The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

cos(B)=adj/hyp

rewrite as

c=a/cos(B)

c=17.3/cos(37)

c=21.66194688
