Special Right Triangle
1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a right triangle with a 30° angle, the side opposite this angle labeled $y$, the hypotenuse labeled 8, and the adjacent side labeled $x$. We need to find the values of $x$ and $y$.
2. **Relevant Formula:**
In a right triangle with a 30° angle, the sides relate as follows:
- Opposite side to 30°: $y = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{hypotenuse}$
- Adjacent side to 30°: $x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \text{hypotenuse}$
3. **Calculate $y$:**
$$y = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4$$
4. **Calculate $x$:**
$$x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 8 = 4\sqrt{3}$$
5. **Interpretation:**
The side opposite the 30° angle is 4, and the adjacent side is $4\sqrt{3}$. This matches the second option given.
**Final answer:**
$$y = 4, \quad x = 4\sqrt{3}$$
