#x=8sqrt3#

Explanation:

#Sec 30°=x/12#

#1/(cos30^@) = x/12#

using the "unit circle" we can determine the exact value of #cos30^@ = sqrt3/2#

#1/(sqrt3/2) = x/12#

#2/(sqrt3) = x/12#

cross multiply:

#2*12 = xsqrt3#

#24=xsqrt3#

#x=24/sqrt3#

rationalize the denominator:

#x=(24sqrt3)/3#

#x=8sqrt3#

Explanation:

#sec30 =x/12#
we know that # cos 30 = sqrt3/2#

also #sec =1/cos#
therefore #sec 30 =2/sqrt3#
ATQ ,
#2/sqrt3 =x/12#
#24=sqrt3x#
#x=8sqrt3#
