*30pts*What is the value of x in the triangle?

Answer:
A.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine rule
sin(α)/A equals sin(β)/B
From the question & inserting values,
sin(90°)/8 equals sin(30°)/x
∴x equals[tex]\frac{sin(30)}{sin(90)}[/tex]×8
∴x equals 4

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
sin30° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then
sin30° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 4
