Answer:

6

Explanation:

The small right triangle at left is a 30-60-90 triangle.

x is the long leg, opposite the 60-deg angle.

The hypotenuse has length 4sqrt(3)

The ratio of the lengths of its sides is:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

1 : sqrt(3) : 2

The short leg measures half the hypotenuse.

short leg = (1/2)4sqrt(3) = 2sqrt(3)

The long leg measures the short leg times sqrt(3)

long leg = 2sqrt(3) * sqrt(3)

long leg = 6

x = long leg = 6
