For this case we have a rectangle triangle where we know:
hypotenuse of the triangle.
Angle between the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse.
We want to find the height of the triangle.
For this, we use the following trigonometric relationship:

sine (60) = x / 8
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

x = 8 * sine (60) x = 6.93 m
Answer:
The inclined height of the pyramid is given by:
x = 6.93 m
