Answer:
x = 19.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this is a right triangle, we can use trigonometry.
Thus, we must use either sine (opposite / hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent / hypotenuse), or tangent (opposite / adjacent).
If we use 33 as the reference angle, the side measuring 16 is the adjacent side and x is the hypotenuse.
Thus, we can use cosine:
[tex]cos 33=\frac{16}{x} \\x*cos33=16\\x=19.0778=19.1[/tex]
