Question
Can someone please help? Thank you.
### Problem Statement

8) Find the value of \( x \).

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram represents a geometric figure composed of three right triangles arranged adjacent to each other. 

- Each triangle has a right angle.
- All three triangles share a common point at one vertex, and the non-right angles of each triangle are given as \( 30^\circ \), forming a continuous angle through all the triangles.
- One side of the smallest triangle is labeled as 16 units, which is likely representing the side opposite the 30° angle in a 30-60-90 triangle.
- The longest side of the largest triangle is labeled \( x \), which is the side opposite the right angle of the largest triangle.
  
### Objective

The task is to find the value of \( x \) using the information provided in the diagram, specifically applying properties of 30-60-90 triangles. A 30-60-90 triangle has side length ratios of 1 (shortest side) : \(\sqrt{3}\) : 2 (hypotenuse).
