  1. Question 1

    Q1. A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 m and one angle of 45°. What is the length of the side opposite the 45° angle?

    • A) 6√2 m
    • B) 12 / √2 m
    • C) 6 m
    • D) 12√2 m

    Answer: 6√2 m

    Explanation: Using sin(45°) = opposite / 12, we get opposite = 12 * sin(45°) = 12 * 1/√2 = 6√2 m.
