SideAngleb=4c=a=A=B=45C=90
Step 1
The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
sin(B)=opphyp
Step 2
Substitute the name of each side into the definition of the sine function.
sin(B)=bc
Step 3
Set up the equation to solve for the hypotenuse, in this case c.
c=bsin(B)
Step 4
Substitute the values of each variable into the formula for sine.
c=4sin(45)
Step 5
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.
c=4(22)
Step 6
Multiply 22 by 22.
c=4(2222)

Step 7.6.5
Evaluate the exponent.
c=4(222)
c=4(222)
c=4(222)
Step 8
Cancel the common factor of 2.

Step 8.1
Factor 2 out of 4.
c=2(2)(222)
Step 8.2
Cancel the common factor.
c=2(2(222))
Step 8.3
Rewrite the expression.
c=2(22)
c=2(22)
Step 9
Multiply 2 by 2.
c=42
Step 10
The result can be shown in multiple forms.
