Answer:

8

Explanation:

→ Use trigonometry to find x, we have no hypotenuse so we utilise the TOA formula

TOA = Tan = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

→ The opposite of the triangle is 8√3 and we want to find the adjacent of this triangle so we rearrange

Opposite ÷ Tan

→ Substitute in the values

8√3 ÷ tan(60) = 8
