Answer: [tex]9\sqrt{3}[/tex]
==========================================================
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 [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] to get the length of the long leg.
[tex]\text{long leg} = (\text{short leg})*\sqrt{3}\\\text{long leg} =9\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Or you could use the pythagorean theorem to solve [tex]x^2+9^2 = 18^2[/tex] and you should get [tex]x = \sqrt{243} = 9\sqrt{3}[/tex]
