Answer:

B) 18.610

Explanation:

Using SOHCAHTOA (trig ratios), the tangent of 28° is the ratio of its opposite length to its adjacent.

in this scenario, the side opposite to 28°, and the side adjacent to it is 35°

tan 28° = y/35

Using inverse operations, multiply both sides by 35

y = 35 * tan 28

Solve your answer using your calculator.

I attached a picture that can help you later to recognize what function to use depending on the sides given.
