sin60=x/8
Sqrt (3/4)=x/8
Sqrt 4= 2
Times each side with 8
x=4sqrt(3)

Hope this can help.

This triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, which you can just find by solving for the unknown angle in the triangle, making it a 30-60-90 triangle.

You'll need to memorize the side lengths for these triangles, but the side opposite from the hypotenuse (x in this case), will be half the length of the hypotenuse.

Meaning that
2x=8

So
x=4

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
