Horizontal distance #x=28.63186029" "#meters

Let #t# be the time required for the projectile to reach the maximum height.

Let #2t# be the time required for the projectile to travel from initial position to the final position at landing.

#t=(-v_0 *sin theta)/g#

#t=(-18 *sin 60^@)/(-9.8)#

#t=(45sqrt3)/49=1.590658905" "#sec

For horizontal distance #x#

#x=v_0*cos theta*2t#

#x=18*cos 60^@*2(1.590658905)#

#x=28.63186029" "#meters

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
