Question

Find the value of x to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{x=4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle because it has 90 degree side. Recall that a triangle is any polygon with exactly 3 sides. We can get the value of x by using the law of sine as follows:

$\frac{x}{sin(30)}=\frac{8}{sin(90)} \\ \\ \therefore x=8\frac{sin(30)}{sin(90)} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{x=4}$
