Why is the numerator the only number that changes when using fractions

It will always depend on the problem. If the denominator isn't the same as the first fraction, then their will be a different number. But if its the same, than the numerator is the only part that will change because it adds on unto it. :)

I googled how to do markup 50%... and it took me awhile but I think I got the answer, $2.66 + $1.33 (into $1.33 from 2.66 x0.5) and u get $3.99 Sorry If I'm wrong but I hoped I helped!

Answer:

a = $6*\sqrt{3}$

b = 12

c = $6\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are right triangles with 60 and 45 degree angles, their side lengths follow special triangles.

A 45-45-90 right triangle has side lengths $1-1-\sqrt{2}$ .

A 30-60-90 right triangle has side lengths $1 - \sqrt{3} -2$ .

Starting with the top triangle which has a 60 degree angle, its side length 6 corresponds to a side length of 1 in the special triangle. It is 6 times bigger so its remaining sides will be 6 times bigger too.

Side a corresponds to side length $\sqrt{3}$ . Therefore, $a = 6*\sqrt{3}$ .

Side b corresponds to side length 2, b = 2*6 = 12.

The bottom triangle has a 45 degree angle, its side length b= 12 corresponds to $\sqrt{2}$ . This means $\sqrt{2}$ was multiplied by $12 = \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{72}$ . This means that side c is $\sqrt{72}=6\sqrt{2}$ .
