Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to get the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle

To find the answer, we will make use of the trigonometric ratio


\begin{gathered} sin45=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)=(6)/(x) \\ \\ where \\ x=hypotenuse \end{gathered}

If we cross multiply


\begin{gathered} x=(6)/(sin45) \\ \\ x=(6)/((1)/(√(2))) \\ \\ x=6√(2) \\ \end{gathered}

Thus, the answer is

What is the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle shown below?4545°A. 6,2OB-example-1
