Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

sinB = AC/BC

sin(45) = 12/BC

1/sqrt(2) = 12/BC

BC = 12 ÷ 1/sqrt(2)

BC = 12sqrt(2)

sqrt: square root

Option C:
12√(2) \ ft is the length of BC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle ABC

The length of
AC=12 \ ft,
m\angle B=45^(\circ)

We need to determine the length of BC

Length of BC:

The length of BC can be determined using the trigonometric ratios.


sin \theta=(opp)/(hyp)

Substituting
\theta=45 ,
Opp=BC=12 and
hyp=BC, we get,


sin \ 45=(12)/(BC)


BC=(12)/(sin \ 45)

Simplifying the values, we get,


BC=(12)/((1)/(√(2)))

Dividing, we get,


BC=12√(2)

Thus, the value of BC is
12√(2) \ ft

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
