I'm trying to picture it.
α=18°
β=71°
γ=90°
If this is the shortest side "a"=10
a/sinα=b/sinβ=c/sinγ
10/sin18=32.36=b/.946; b=30.597.......
a^2+b^2=c^2
100+936.1764.....=1036.176....^.5=32.18969........=c

Your description of the right triangle is rather ambiguous. In a right triangle, there are two legs and a hypotenuse. One of the legs is adjacent to the 18° angle and the other is opposite to it. It's unclear which is x and which is 10.04/25/21
