Answer:

(5 √3) / 4

Explanation:

We have an angle of 60 and right-angle (90°).

Total number of angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

the angle at the bottom of that triangle (the one below the 5) must be

180 - 90 - 60 = 30°

We can use the Sine rule, which states (in our question) (x / SIN 30) = (5 / SIN 60).

Multiply both side by SIN 30.

we now have x = (5 multiplied by Sin 30) / Sin 60

= ( 5 X 0.5) / (√3 / 2)

= (5 √3 ) / 4

This is value of x.
