Note: As you missed to add the graph of mentioning the complete question.

So, I am solving your concept based on an assumed graph which I have attached. It would anyways clear your concept.

Answer:

Please check the explanation!

Explanation:

Given the attached graph below, it is clear that the right angle triangle ABC is shown.

Here are some of the information we can get from the right angle triangle ABC such as:

  • The angle at C = 30°
  • side AB = 8 units

We have to determine the unknown side 'x' using the trigonometric ratios

As

tan Ф = opp/adjacent

From the diagram it is clear that

Ф = 30°

opp=8

adjacent = BC = x

so

tan Ф = opp/adjacent

tan 30 = 8/x

1/√3 = 8/x

x = 8×√3

x = 13.9

Therefore, the missing length will be: x = 13.9
