Answer:

a = 30

b = 40

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This requires that you use a proportion.

a / (a + 15) = 40 / 60

The small triangle's sides are in proportion to the large triangles sides.

Reduce the right. Divide top and bottom by 20

a/(a + 15) = 40/20 // 60/20

a/(a + 15) = 2/3                    

Cross multiply

3a = 2(a + 15)            Remove the brackets on the right.

3a = 2a + 30

Subtract 2a from both sides

3a-2a = 30

a = 30

Find B

b is done exactly the same way.

b/(b+20) = 2/3

3b = 2b + 40

3b - 2b = 40

b = 40
