The indicated side of the right triangle is [tex]44\sqrt{2} =\frac{88}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex].
RIGHT TRIANGLE
A triangle is classified as a right triangle when it presents one of your angles equal to 90º. The greatest side of a right triangle is called hypotenuse. And, the other two sides are called cathetus or legs.
The math tools applied for finding angles or sides in a right triangle are the trigonometric ratios or the Pythagorean Theorem.
The Pythagorean Theorem says:[tex]hypotenuse^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2[/tex]. And the main trigonometric ratios are:
[tex]sin(\beta )= \frac{opposite\;leg}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\beta )= \frac{adjacent\;leg}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ tan(\beta )= \frac{opposite\;leg}{adjacent\;leg} \\ \\[/tex]
The question asks to find one of the legs (y). Then, you can find y applying the trigonometric ratio (sin 45°).
[tex]sin(45\°)=\frac{y}{88}[/tex]
Like sin45° is equal to [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}[/tex], you have
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =\frac{y}{88}\\ \\ 2y=88\sqrt{2} \\ \\ y=44\sqrt{2} \\ \\ Thus\\ \\ y=\frac{88}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
