both of those legs have same length

Answer 4

so you could use pythagorean thm

Answer 5

so 45

Answer 6

use sin

\[\sin \theta=oppsite side/ hypotenuse side\]

Answer 7

\[12^2+12^2=b^2\]

Answer 8

\[\sin\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{12}{b}\]will work too, but myin's way is smarter

Answer 9

you can also do jerwyn's way and turings

Answer 10

my way isn't smarter lol

Answer 11

its just another way

Answer 12

I see it as more clever, recognizing the symmetry...
No trig necessary!

Answer 13

\[\sin 45=12/b\]\[b \sin 45=12\]\[b=12/\sin 45\]

find the value of sin 45

then divide it to 12

you will got b

that's application to trigonometry. ..

Answer 14

true no trig just algebra

k, still trying to get the answer. Somehow lost a bunch of my work now I have to figure it out again..This sucks!

Answer 32

so we had\[12^2+12^2=b^2 \]

Answer 33

\[144+144=b^2\]

Answer 34

add 144+144
then take the square root of both sides and you will have b

Answer 35

yeah i had 288 so i should have divided that by .5

Answer 36

no take the square root since be have b^2=288

Answer 37

to undo square you square root
