To solve this problem, we can use the law of sines. The law of sines states that in any triangle, the ratio of the length of a side to the sine of the opposite angle is constant.
In triangle ABC, we have angle A as 45°, angle B as 60°, and side BC as 3√2. Let's find side AC.
We can set up the following proportion using the law of sines:
BC/sin(A) = AC/sin(B)
Plugging in the values we know:
3√2 / sin(45°) = AC / sin(60°)
Since sin(45°) = sin(60°) = √3/2, we can simplify the equation to:
(3√2) / (√3/2) = AC / (√3/2)
Now, let's simplify the equation further:
(3√2) * (2/√3) = AC
6√2 / √3 = AC
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by √3:
(6√2 * √3) / √3 * √3 = AC
(6√6) / 3 = AC
2√6 = AC
Therefore, the length of side AC is 2√6.
