Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using the trig. ratios in the right triangle and

tan45° = 1, sin45° =
(1)/(√(2) ), then

tan45° =
(opposite)/(adjacent) =
(7)/(x)

Multiply both sides by x

x × 1 = 7 ⇒ x = 7

---------------------------------------

sin45° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(7)/(y)

Multiply both sides by y

y × sin45° = 7 ( divide both sides by sin 45° )

y = 7 / sin45° = 7 / 1/
√(2) = 7
√(2)

ANSWER


y = 7 √(2)


x = 7

EXPLANATION

The given triangle has a right angle.

The side opposite to the 45° angle is 7 units.

To find angle x, we use the tangent ratio.

Recall the mnemonics TOA, which means,


\tan(45 \degree) = (opposite)/(adjacent)


\tan(45 \degree) = (7)/(x)


1 = (7)/(x)


x = 7

To find y, we use the sine ratio, which means


\sin(45 \degree) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse)


\sin(45 \degree) = (7)/(y)


y= (7)/(\sin(45 \degree) )


y= (7)/( (1)/( √(2) ) )


y = 7 * ( √(2) )/(1)


y = 7 √(2)
