(1 point)
C
16 ft
A
B.
What is the length of BC? If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.
O 16 ft
O 16.2 ft
O 16.5 ft
O 32 ft

Answer 1

`16√(2)`

Explanation:

The given triangle shown is a 45-45-90. We can use this picture attached to figure out BC.

n in this case is 16ft

Based on the picture, we can get BC's length, which is n
`√(2)`

BC =
`16√(2)`
