An athlete kicks a soccer ball with a velocity of 24.2 m/s at a 26 degree angle from the ground. Find the horizontal component of the starting velocity. (Vx)

I got was 23.71 or if you round it it'd be 23.72 but it still says that I'm wrong

The horizontal component is  18 cos(35) =  14.745 m/s  

The vertical component is    18 sin(35) =  10.324 m/s  

Explanation:

here we know that ball will drop down by total distance 3.2 m

so here we know that

now using kinematics

now in the same time it will cover horizontal distance of 0.75 m

so speed of the ball will be

d is the correct answer
