Respuesta :

BC² = 11² + 11²

BC² = 121 + 121

BC² = 242

BC = √242

BC = 11√2

Answer: 11√2

Answer:

The length of BC is 11√2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A right angled triangle ABC,

In which,

AC = 11 ft ( By diagram ),

∠A = 90°,

∠B = 45°,

By the law of sine,

[tex]\frac{sin B}{AC}=\frac{sin A}{BC}[/tex]

[tex]\implies BC\times sin B = AC\times sin A[/tex]   ( By cross multiplication )

[tex]\implies BC = \frac{AC\times sin A}{sin B}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

[tex]BC=\frac{11\times sin 90^{\circ}}{sin 45^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{11}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]=11\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Hence, the length of BC is 11√2 ft.
