Average of eight minutes and twenty seconds to travel from the sun to the earth
So hmm notice the picture below
that's the 30-60-90 rule, notice your triangle, the bottom-left-angle is a right angle, 90°, the angle atop is 30°, so the angle on the bottom-right has to be 60°, thus is a 30-60-90 triangle, and as you can see on the triangle on the left in the picture, those are the ratios for it
so 8 will be x, what is the longer leg or side in yours then? well, is
No,
although all the sides are the same length on an equilateral triangle the height is calculated by a straight perpendicular line at the mid point of the base.
The sides are not perpendicular with the base and are angled outwards
