The way the diagram looks when it is drawn is that you are going to need the sine function to solve for the side opposite which is CD.

Formula

Sin(A) = Sin(68 = opposite / hypotenuse     Substitute values.

Solution

sin(68) = altitude (side opposite) / 20       multiply both sides by 20

20*sin(68) = 20* altitude / 20                     substitute for sin(68)

20* 0.9272 = altitude

altitude = 18.5

Answer: 18.5 to the nearest tenth
