Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of BC, we will be using the trigonometric function Sine.

The Sine trig function is as follows:

sin(θ) =
(Opposite Side)/(Hypotenuse)

Plug in the values and solve for the Hypotenuse (BC)


sin(45) = (8)/(x)

Multiply x to both sides, then divide both sides by sin(45).

x =
(8)/(sin(45))

Input into a calculator and solve.

The length of BC is
8√(2), or 11.3137.
