Question 951149: In the accompanying diagram of right triangle BAC, angle A = 90 degrees, angle B = 45 degrees, and AC = 8. What is the length of BC? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is an Isosceles right triangle.
The ratio of the length of the sides of an Isosceles right triangle is 1:1:sqrt(2).
BC is the hypotenuse and equals 8sqrt(2).
