There’s a unit/word mix-up — angles aren’t in inches. Two likely meanings:
1) If you meant an angle of 8° (degrees) in a right triangle, the other acute angle = 90° − 8° = 82°.
2) If you meant a side (a leg) of 8 inches and the hypotenuse is 12 inches, the other leg = sqrt(12^2 − 8^2) = sqrt(144 − 64) = sqrt(80) = 4√5 ≈ 8.9443 in.
