Question

using trig to solve for the missing angle

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a 45 and 90 degree angle, this is a 45-45-90 triangle. The legs are equal in a 45-45-90 ttiangle. The hypotenuse sqr root of 2 times more than the legs. So this means the hypotenuse measure is

$18 \sqrt{2}$

So we can set up a equation.

${18}^{2} + {x}^{2} = ({18 \sqrt{2}) }^{2}$

$x = 18$

So the missing side is 18
