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
