Answer:

a. 8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the trigonometric ratio to find the value of AB.

$\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{Adjacent} \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} \tan 60^0=(AB)/(5) \\ AB=5*\tan 60^0 \\ AB=8.7\text{ units} \end{gathered}$

The correct choice is A.
