Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

See the diagram attached.

This triangle is a right triangle with x units as the hypotenuse.

If we consider the base angle as 60° (As given), and the base length as 8 units, then using trigonometry we can write

`\cos 60^(\circ) = \frac{\textrm {Base}}{\textrm {Hypotenuse}} = (8)/(x)`

⇒
`(1)/(2) = (8)/(x)`

⇒ x = 16 units (Answer).
