Let's start by solving for side y using trigonometric ratios, specifically cosine.
[tex]cos(30)=\frac{y}{8}[/tex]
We can solve for y by multiplying 8 to both sides of the equation.
[tex]y=6.9282[/tex]
Let's solve for side x using trigonometric ratios, and this time we'll be using sine.
[tex]sin(30)=\frac{x}{8}[/tex]
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.
[tex]x=4[/tex]
We have solved for the missing variables x and y:
x = 4 and y = 6.9
