Answer:
x = y = 2√2
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
To get the unknown side x and y, we need to use the SOH CAH TOA identity
Opposite side = x
Adjacent = y
Hypotenuse = 4
Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 45 = x/4
x = 4 sin 45
x = 4 * 1/√2
x = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2
x = 4 * √2/√4
x = 4 * √2/2
x = 2√2
Similarly;
cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 45 = y/4
y = 4cos45
y = 4 * 1/√2
y = 4 * 1/√2 * √2/√2
y = 4 * √2/√4
y = 4 * √2/2
y = 2√2
