Given:

The given triangle is a right triangle.

One of the angle of the triangle is 60°

The length of the hypotenuse is 8.

The length of the side opposite to the angle 60° is x.

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;


sin \ \theta=(opp)/(hyp)

Substituting
\theta=60^(\circ),
opp=x and
hyp=8, we get;


sin \ 60^(\circ)=(x)/(8)

Multiplying both sides by 8, we have;


sin \ 60^(\circ) * 8=x


(√(3))/(2) * 8=x


4 √(3)=x

Thus, the value of x is
4 √(3)

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
