Question

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.

Answer 1

The ratio of the angle measures and the side lengths opposite them in the
`45^o` special triangle is given by
`45:45:90\equiv1:1:√(2)`.

Thus,
`u:v:8√(2)\equiv1:1:√(2)\equiv8:8:8√(2)`

Therefore, u = v = 8.
