Answer:

(c) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the drawn was misprinted. In the picture attached, the correct drawn is shown.

From definition:

cos(β) = adjacent/hypotenuse

For angle = 30°, the adjacent side is x. On the other hand, the hypotenuse of the triangle is 24 units long. Replacing this information into the equation:

cos(30°) = x/24

x = cos(30°)*24

x ≈ 21
