    20.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's label the vertices ABC as in the diagram below. Then

    dа ta:

    α = 34 °

    β = 90 °

    c = 17

    Calculation:

    cosα = AB/AC

    Multiply each side by AC

    ACcosα = AB

    Divide each side by cosα

    AC = AB/cosα = 17/cos34 ≈ 17/0.8290 ≈ 20.5
