Answer:
D: [tex]4\sqrt3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the height. You notice you have split the triangle in two right triangles of sides 8 (the hypotenuse), 4 (half the horizontal side) and x. Let's apply Pythagorean theorem to the triangle: [tex]8^2 = 4^2+x^2 \rightarrow 64=16+x^2 \rightarrow x^2= 48 = 4^2\times3\\x= \sqrt48 = 4\sqrt3[/tex]
