Answer:

8
√(3)

Explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and

sin60° =
(√(3) )/(2)

sin60° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(12)/(y)

Multiply both sides by y

y × sin60° = 12, that is

y ×
(√(3) )/(2) = 12 ← multiply both sides by 2

y ×
√(3) = 24 ( divide both sides by
√(3))

y =
(24)/(√(3) )

=
(24)/(√(3) ) ×
(√(3) )/(√(3) )

=
(24√(3) )/(3) = 8
√(3)
