What is the value of x in the diagram?
Let h be the height of the triangle.
From the triangle on the left: sin(60) = h / 8 ---> h = 8·sin(60) ---> 6.9282
From the triangle on the right: sin(45) = 6.9282 / x ---> sin(45)·x = 6.9282
---> x = 6.9282 / sin(45) = ........
x = [ sin(60º) * 8 ] / sin(45º)
in a 30-60-90 triangle the legs of the 60o triangle has legs 4 and 4sqrt3 so we have x=sqrt(2(4sqrt3)^2) since it is an 45-45-90 triangle and we simplify to get x=sqrt(2*48) so \(x=\sqrt{96}=4\sqrt6\)
