Yay, 30-60-90 triangles!

We can label the figure, by creating the four opposite from 90 degrees and the two across from the 30 degrees. We have to solve for side length AB, which is across from angle 60. Using our knowledge on the triangle, opposite to 60 is \(x\sqrt{3}\) . Thus, the answer is \(2\sqrt{3}\) .
