Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the legs are congruent.

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and

sin45° = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex], then

sin45° = [tex]\frac{leg}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{leg}{4\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

sin45° × 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = leg, that is

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] × 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex], hence

leg = 4
