Looks to me like you have a right triangle. x is an acute angle. The opposite side has a measure of 15 and the adjacent side's measure looks like 18. "Opposite side divided by adjacent side" is a definition for one of the trigonometric functions. Which one? You decide, then do the arithmetic and use your tables or calculator to get the answer.
