In order to obtain the value for x, we will make use of the trigonometric functions SOHCAHTOA.

Given:


\begin{gathered} \theta=60^0 \\ \text{Opposite}=x \\ \text{Hypotenuse}=8 \end{gathered}

The trigonometric function that relates both the opposite and hypotenuse is SOH (Sine of angles).


\begin{gathered} \sin 60^0=(x)/(8) \\ \therefore x=8\sin 60^0=8*\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}=4\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}

Hence,


x=4\sqrt[]{3}
