Answer:


x\approx12.1940

Explanation:

So we want to find the value of x.

To do so, we can use the standard trigonometric ratios.

Focus on Angle B. The opposite side is 8, and the hypotenuse is x. Therefore, we can use the sine function.

Recall that sine is:


\sin(x)=opp/hyp

Substitute 41 for x, 8 for the opposite, and x for the hypotenuse:


(\sin(41))/(1)=(8)/(x)

Cross multiply:


8=x\sin(41)

Divide both sides by sin(41):


x=8/\sin(41)

Use a calculator:


x\approx12.1940
