Question

Find the value of x to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=4}`

Explanation:

This is a right triangle because it has 90 degree side. Recall that a triangle is any polygon with exactly 3 sides. We can get the value of x by using the law of sine as follows:

`(x)/(sin(30))=(8)/(sin(90)) \\ \\ \therefore x=8(sin(30))/(sin(90)) \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{x=4}`
