Answer:

a =
6*√(3)

b = 12

c =
6√(2)

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-√(2).

A 30-60-90 right triangle has side lengths
1 - √(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
√(3). Therefore,
a = 6*√(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
√(2). This means
√(2) was multiplied by
12 = √(2) * √(72). This means that side c is
√(72)=6√(2).
