Answer:
9√(3)

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

For any 30-60-90 triangle, the short leg is always half the hypotenuse.

This makes the short leg to be 18/2 = 9 units long.

We then multiply this by
√(3) to get the length of the long leg.


\text{long leg} = (\text{short leg})*√(3)\\\text{long leg} =9√(3)

Or you could use the pythagorean theorem to solve
x^2+9^2 = 18^2 and you should get
x = √(243) = 9√(3)
