The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Triangle We have a right triangle ABC, where angle C is the right angle. We know that \( AB = \sqrt{2} \cdot BC \). ### Step 2: Assign Variables Let: - \( BC = x \) (the length of side BC) - Then, \( AB = \sqrt{2} \cdot x \) (the length of side AB) ### Step 3: Use the Pythagorean Theorem In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states that: \[ AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2 \] Substituting the known lengths: \[ (\sqrt{2} \cdot x)^2 = AC^2 + x^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x^2 = AC^2 + x^2 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the Equation Now, we can rearrange the equation to find \( AC^2 \): \[ AC^2 = 2x^2 - x^2 \] \[ AC^2 = x^2 \] Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ AC = x \] ### Step 5: Find the Angles Using Trigonometric Ratios Now we need to find angle \( ABC \), which we will denote as \( \theta \). Using the cosine ratio: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{BC}{AB} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{2} \cdot x} \] This simplifies to: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 6: Determine the Angle We know that: \[ \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] Thus: \[ \theta = 45^\circ \] ### Final Answer The angle \( ABC \) is \( 45^\circ \). ---
