1 1/4*30=37.5 because, first to make this easier to work with I like to turn the fraction into a decimal like so, 1/4=.25 because 1/4=.25 so 1/4=.25, so now we have 1.25*30=? What this is pretty much saying is that 30+(25% of 30)=? Which to solve this we just need to find how much 25% is of 30 which is .25*30=7.5 because 7.5*4=30 making it true that this is 25% of 30. Now what we have to do is take 30+7.5 (because we have a 1 infront of the 25% we add this instead of subtract it, if we had no whole number infront of the 30 and where solving this that way we would have to subtract instead of add) which adds up to be are end answer of 37.5.
Hope that this helps and makes sense, Enjoy!=)

Explanation:
Recall that tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
So for reference angle G, we say,
tan(G) = JH/GJ = 2/1 = 2
We'll treat tan(H) in a similar fashion, but the opposite and adjacent sides swap roles. That means we'll apply the reciprocal to the result above to get 1/2 for tan(H)
-----------
So we have this interesting property where
tan(G)*tan(H) = 2*(1/2) = 1
In general,
tan(A)*tan(B) = 1 if and only if A+B = 90 degrees
-----------
Side note: The side sqrt(5) isn't used at all.
The answer is B, both 16+24 and option b is = to 40
