sin45=AB/AC
sin45=AB/10
AB=sin45*10
AB=7.07

H/B=SIN 45*.

=>AB/AC= SIN 45*.

=>AB/10=0.707106781.

=>AB=0.707106781*10.

=>AB=7.07.

In Given Triangle by using trignomtric relations
sin (theta)= AB/AC=AB/10
we know that sin45=0.707
0.707=AB/10
=>AB=0.707*10

SOH-CAH-TOA.

SIN(THETA) = OPPOSITE/HYPOTENUSE.
COS(THETA) = ADJACENT/HYPOTENUSE.

TAN(THETA) = OPPOSITE/ADJACENT.

THEREFORE AB = CAH.
AB = COS (THETA) = adj/hyp.
AB = COS 45 = ADJ/10.
AB = 10. COS45.

And, COS45 = 0.707,
AB = 10 . 0.707
AB = 7.07.

sin(45) = AB/10.
AB = 10sin(45).
AB = 10^0.707.
AB = 7.07.

Sin 45 = AB/10.
0.707*10 = AB.
AB = 7.07.

sin theta=opp. side/hyp.
sin45=AB/10
.707=AB/10
AB=.707*10
AB=7.07
