11.3

Answer 1

Answer: 8 (The second option).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this exercise you draw a line to a point O, this lines will bisect the angle of Z∠60°. Then will obtain two into two right triangles with two angles of 30° at the point Z.

2. The lenght XY will be twice the lengt XO or YO.

3. Let's  calclate XO as following:

$sin(30)=\frac{XO}{8}\\XO=4$

4. Then, XY is:

$XY=2XO\\XY=2*4\\XY=8$
