Answer:
a = 21
b = 63
c = 42√3
d = 21√3
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The given side (42) is the longest side of the smallest triangle, and the shortest side of the largest triangle.
That means the other sides of the smallest triangle will be ...
a = 42/2 = 21
a+b = 2(42) = 84
b = (a+b) -a = 84 -21 = 63
d = 21√3 . . . . middle-length side of the smallest triangle
c = 42√3 . . . . middle-length side of the largest triangle
The values of the variables are ...
- a = 21
- b = 63
- c = 42√3
- d = 21√3
