Answer:

x = 8√2

Explanation:

As the opposing side of the angle and the hypotenuse are given, take the sine ratio of the angle.

  • sin 45° = x/16
  • 1/√2 = x/16
  • x = 16 / √2
  • x = 16√2 / 2
  • x = 8√2

Answer:


\sf x=8{√(2)

Explanation:

Trigonometric ratios


\sf \sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)\quad\cos(\theta)=(A)/(H)\quad\tan(\theta)=(O)/(A)

where:


  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • A is the side adjacent the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

Therefore, to find x we need to use the sine trig ratio.

Given:


  • \theta = 45°
  • O = x
  • H = 16

Substitute these values into the formula and solve for x:


\implies \sf \sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)


\implies \sf \sin(45^(\circ))=(x)/(16)


\implies \sf x=16 \sin(45^(\circ))


\implies \sf x=16 \cdot (√(2))/(2)


\implies \sf x=8{√(2)
