Answer: 4

Explanation:

solve for the missing angle

the total degrees a triangle can have is 180 so


180-90-60=30

use law of sines to solve for x


(x)/(sin30) =(4√(3) )/(sin60)

cross multiply


sin60*x=4√(3) sin30

divide by
sin60


x=(4√(3)sin30 )/(sin60)

type into calculator with (ALPHA Y= for a fraction on TI-84) MAKE SURE IT IS IN DEGREES
