Question

Solve for x, need help asap!

Answer 1

Let's solve for x using trigonometric relation ( Cos )

we know,

$\cos(30 \degree) = \dfrac{base}{hypotenuse} = \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$

now

$\dfrac{x}{8} = \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$

$x = 8 \times \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$

$x = 4 \sqrt{3}$

hence, the value of x is $4 \sqrt{3}$
