The value of each letter in the given magic square is a = 30, b = 6 , c = 18 and d = 4.
<h3>What is a magic square?</h3>
A magic square is one that has several different integers placed in such a way that the sum or total of the numbers is the same on all of the diagonals, as well as in every row, column, and major diagonal.
Given:
A magic square where all rows, columns, and diagonals sum to the same number.
Sum of the numbers in the diagonal of the magic square,
5 + 17 + 29 = 51
In the first row, the sum of numbers will also be 51
5 + a + 16 = 51
a = 51 - 21 = 30
Similarly, the sum in the first column
5 + 28 + c = 51
c = 51 - 33 = 18
And the sum in the last row,
c + d + 29 = 51
Putting the value of c, we get
18 + d + 29 = 51
d = 51 - 47 = 4
Now to find the value of b the sum of the last column,
16 + b + 29 = 51
b = 51 - 45 = 6
