Hi Madi. I sketched the question below. Can you see the yellow right-angled triangle? That's what you use to find the answer for the question. Here's a simpler geometric sketch. We'll call the length of the side we want to find h. There is a trig function called sine which will let you find the value of h. In any right triangle, the length of the leg opposite a particular angle is equal to the length of the hypotenuse times the sine of the angle. So h = (8 ft) sin (60°) Hope this helps,
