The answer is 7

STEP 1

Get the angle of B


\begin{gathered} STEP 2<p>We make use of sine rule to find Line BC that connects [tex]\begin{gathered} (SinB)/(b)=(SinA)/(a) \\ (Sin89)/(8)=(\sin 61)/(BC) \\ BC\text{ X Sin89= Sin61 X 8} \\ BC\text{ =}\frac{0.8746\text{ X 8}}{0.9999} \\ BC=6.9998 \\ BC\text{ is approx}i\text{mately 7 } \end{gathered}
