Forgive me if this is wrong. I haven't done stat in a year, but comment if you need clarification!
Answer:
a) A triangle which the angles ratio is 1 : 2 : 3 is a 30º - 60º - 90º right triangle.
b) The shortest side is opposite to the shortest angle. So, we can calculate it using sin 30º.



\left[x \right] = \left[ 3\right][x]=[3] totally answer
Hello! The first thing you want to do is add 4 to both sides, which gives you: 7over9x - 4 + 4 = 24 + 4. Then Simplify: 7over9x = 28. Then you just multiply both sides by the number 9! 9 times 7over9 = 28 times 9. Simplfy again! 7xover7 = 252over7. Simply that fraction, and you get x=36.
