Answer:


a=10.8\text{ units}

Explanation:

To find the length of ''a'' in the given triangle, use the Law of Sines theorem:

Therefore, by the given information:


\begin{gathered} (\sin120)/(a)=(\sin40)/(8) \\ \end{gathered}

Solve for ''a'':


\begin{gathered} a=(\sin120*8)/(\sin40) \\ a=10.77 \\ \text{ Rounding to the nearest tenth:} \\ a=10.8 \end{gathered}
