Using the geometric mean concept, it is found that the value of a is 18.
----------------------
The geometric mean, of a data-set of n elements, , is given by:
That is, the nth root of the multiplication of all elements.
----------------------
In this question:
Thus:
We find the square of each side, so:
Simplifying both sides by 17:
The value of a is 18.

Question not well presented and diagram is missing
Quadrilateral WILD is inscribed in circle O.
WI is a diameter of circle O.
What is the measure of angle D?
See attached for diagram
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Summation of opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180°, given that the vertices are on the circle.
Given
<WIL = 45°
<ILD = 109°
In the attached;
<WIL + <WDL = 180° (Opposite angle of quadrilateral)
Substitute 45° for <WIL in the above expression
45° + <WDL = 180° ---- Collect like terms
<WDL = 180° - 45°
<WDL = 135°
Hence, the measure of angle D is 135° (See attached)
