In triangle ABC, A is a right angle and m B = 45 Degrees
What is the length of BC? If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form
A right angle with CA = 16ft
A- 16ft
B- 16 √2 ft
C- 16 √3 ft
D- 32 ft
B- 16 √2 ft
Using trigonometry, we can find the length of BC using the tangent of angle B:
tan(45 degrees) = BC / CA
tan(45 degrees) = BC / 16
Since tan(45 degrees) = 1, we have:
1 = BC / 16
BC = 16
So the length of BC is 16 ft.
