Answer 2

Answer:

b = 1.7

c = 7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangle with side 'b' is a 30-60-90° Δ where the ratio of sides, respectively, are 1 : $\sqrt{3}$ : 2

to find 'b' we could set up this proportion:

b/3 = 1/$\sqrt{3}$

cross-multiply:

b$\sqrt{3}$ = 3

b = 3 / $\sqrt{3}$

if we rationalize the denominator, this becomes (3$\sqrt{3}$)/3 which is $\sqrt{3}$ or 1.7

the other triangle is a 45-45-90°Δ where the ratio of the sides are 1 : 1 : $\sqrt{2}$

if the legs are 5 then the hypotenuse is 5$\sqrt{2}$ or 7.1
