Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

tan51° = x/14.8

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Multiply 14.8 on both sides:                    14.8tan51° = x
2. Evaluate:                                                  18.2765 = x
3. Rewrite:                                                    x = 18.2765
4. Round:                                                      x ≈ 18.28
