Notice the picture below
the AD line is a bisector, cutting the 36 degrees A in half,
18 and 18 degrees each half
notice the tickmarks, the triangle is an isosceles,
if those two sides are equal, so are the angles they make
down below with the base
now, the base is 8, AD is bisecting that too, to 4 and 4
now, using the Law of Sines

keep in mind, the angles are in degrees, so, when taking the sines, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode
Answer: 17/60
Step-by-step explanation:
Change all of the fractions to have a common denominator:
LCM of 10, 12, 15 is 60
You get 12/60, 25/60, and 54/60.
54/60 is what he had at the start, and so you can just subtract what he gave away
54/60-12/60=42/60
42/60-25/60=17/60
17 is a prime number so you cannot simplify the fraction
