Find the value of x to the nearest whole number

Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x=4}[/tex]
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:
[tex]\frac{x}{sin(30)}=\frac{8}{sin(90)} \\ \\ \therefore x=8\frac{sin(30)}{sin(90)} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{x=4}[/tex]
