well we can use the pythagorean theorem for this and disregard the 11. so we have the hypotenuse and one side so therefore a^2+b^2=c^2 and if we plug in the numbers it would look like this
16.5^2+x^2=29^2
272.25+x^2=841
x^2=568.75
and from multiple choice we can infer that the answer is obviously bigger than 16.5 because in the picture x is a longer side but it is smaller than 29 and the only answer in between those two numbers given would be C. 27
