Answer:

16sqrt3 in^2

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length x width.

This is a special right triangle of 30-60-90 where the smallest leg is half of the hypotenuse and the medium leg is the smallest leg times sqrt3.

So the smallest leg, or the length, would be 8/2, or 4.

The longer leg, or the width, would be 4sqrt3.

We multiply the length and width: 4*4sqrt3=16sqrt3

Therefore, the area would be 16sqrt3 in^2

I hope this helped and have a good rest of your day!
