Answer:


21^(\circ)

Explanation:

The Law of Sines is given by
(\sin A)/(a)=(\sin B)/(b)=(\sin C)/(c) and works for every triangle.

Substituting given values, we have the following equation:


(\sin 68^(\circ))/(18)=(\sin C)/(7), \\\\\sin C=(7\sin 68^(\circ))/(18),\\\\C=\sin^(-1)(0.36057149899),\\\\C\approx \boxed{21^(\circ)}

*Note that because
\sin \theta=\sin(180-\theta), when solving for an angle with the Law of Sines, there may be two answers. However, since the problem designates angle C as an acute angle, the other angle is negligible.
