Question

What is a,b,c and d please help me

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Edit:

a is 18

b is 36

c is 18

d is 18 times sqr root of 3

Answer 2

Answers:

• a = 18
• b = 36
• c = 18
• d = 18*sqrt(3)

sqrt is shorthand for "square root"

=====================================================

Explanation:

The smaller triangle on the left is a 45-45-90 triangle (aka isosceles right triangle). One special property of such triangles is that the legs are the same length, meaning a = c. Another special feature is that the hypotenuse is exactly sqrt(2) times that of the leg.

In other words, if x is the leg length, then x*sqrt(2) is the length of the hypotenuse. That means mean a = 18 in order for the hypotenuse to be 18*sqrt(2). This then leads to c = 18 as well.

--------------

The smaller triangle on the right side has a = 18 as the shorter leg, opposite the smallest angle (30 degrees). The hypotenuse b is twice that of the short leg, and this works because we're dealing with a 30-60-90 triangle. Therefore b = 2a = 2*18 = 36.

The longer leg d is equal to sqrt(3) times the short leg, ie,

d = a*sqrt(3)

d = 18*sqrt(3)

You could use the pythagorean theorem to solve for d like so:

a^2 + d^2 = b^2

18^2 + d^2 = 36^2

d^2 = 972

d = sqrt(972)

d = 18*sqrt(3)

I skipped a bunch of steps, but you get the idea.
