Answer:
u = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
cos theta = adj side / hypotenuse
cos 45 = sqrt(2) / u
u cos 45 = sqrt(2)
u = sqrt(2) / cos 45
u = sqrt(2) / 1/ sqrt(2)
u = sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)
u =2
u=2
Solution given:
Cos 45°=base/hypotenuse
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{u}[/tex]
doing crisscrossed multiplication
[tex]\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}=1*u[/tex]
