Answer:

x = 17.96829419

rounded to 1dp would be

x = 18.0cm

Explanation:

Hypotenuse : Opposite the right angle.

Opposite : Opposite the other angle

Adjacent : Last side left.

We don't need the hypotenuse so we can get rid of that.

We have adjacent (a) and opposite (o) for trigonometry.

Soh Cah Toa

Toa has o and a so we're going to use tan.

Length × Tan (Angle)

8 × tan (66) =17.96829419
