Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using the exact values

sin45° = cos45° =
(1)/(√(2) )

Since the triangle is right use the sine/cosine ratios, that is

sin45° =
(TU)/(TV) =
(TU)/(9√(2) )

Multiply both sides by 9
√(2)

9
√(2) ×
(1)/(√(2) ) = TU, hence

TU = 9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cos45° =
(UV)/(TV) =
(UV)/(9√(2) )

Multiply both sides by 9
√(2)

9
√(2) ×
(1)/(√(2) ) = UV, hence

UV = 9

Since TU = UV = 9 , then triangle is isosceles

and ∠T = ∠V = 45°
