Triangles with a 90 degree angle. We use the sine, cosine and tangent functions to determine the missing angles and sides.

Since the boxes are kind of on their own—>
First box: 7*2*12 = 168
Second box: 5*2*9=90
168+90 = 258
First bring all terms in 'a' to the left side of the formula by subtracting ac from both sides
ab - ac - cd = ac - ac
ab - ac - cd = 0
now add cd to both sides
ab - ac -cd + cd = cd
ab - ac = cd
now factor the left side by taking out the 'a'
a(b-c) = cd
now divide both sides by (b-c)
a = cd / (b-c)
