Question

So, I got one answer but I'm confused on how to get the other. Please help if you can!!

Solve for the values a and b (diagram in comments)

Answer 1

did u get a?

Answer 2

Yeah.\[a= 4\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 3

I think...

Answer 4

nopes, thats b.
how did u get that ?

Answer 5

\[hypotenuse=leg \times \sqrt{2}\]

Answer 6

right,u are using the property of 45-45-90 triangle
here hypotenuse = b
so b= 4\(\sqrt2\)
now two legs of 45-45-90 triangle are equal
so u directly get a=4
got this?

Answer 7

WITHOUT THINKING YOU KGNOW a=4
SINCE ANGLE IS 45.
AND \[B =4\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 8

Got it! Thanks guys!
