Answer:

√2

Explanation:

Angle ( θ ) = 45

Hypotenuse side = 2

Opposite side = x

Formula : -

sin θ = Opposite side / Hypotenuse side

Note :

The value of sin 45 = 1/√2

sin 45 = x/2

1/√2 = x/2

Cross multiply,

x*√2 = 2*1

x√2 = 2

2 can be simplified as √2 * √2

x√2 = √2*√2

Divide √2 on both sides,

x = √2
