Answer:
B = 45°
BC = 14 km
AB = 14√2 km ≈ 19.80 km
Step-by-step explanation:
If one acute angle (A) of a right triangle is 45°, then the other one is also:
... 180° -90° -45° = 45°
The sides opposite these congruent angles are the same length, 14 km in this case, and the hypotenuse is found from the Pythagorean theorem to be √2 times either leg length.
... AB² = AC² +BC²
... AB = √(AC² +BC²) = (14 km)√(1² +1²) = 14√2 km
