Answer:


4√(3)

Explanation:


cos30 ° =
(x)/(8)

cos x =
(adjacent )/(hypotenuse )


(√(3) )/(2) =
(x)/(8)

x =
(8√(3) )/(2)

x =
4√(3)

I hope it helps.

Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] cosθ = adjacent over hypotenuse

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify Variables

Angle θ = 30°

Adjacent Leg = x

Hypotenuse = 8

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Substitute in variables [cosine]:
    \displaystyle cos(30^\circ) = (x)/(8)
  2. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Isolate x:
    \displaystyle 8cos(30^\circ) = x
  3. Rewrite:
    \displaystyle x = 8cos(30^\circ)
  4. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle x = 4√(3)
