Answer: 11, 23, 166

Explanation:

Hiya! From the drawings, I'm assuming all of the triangles are right-angled triangles. If they aren't though, tell me and I'll tell you how to solve them.

Anyways, assuming they are right angled-triangles, you can use Pythagoras' Theorem (aka a² + b² = c²)

c is the hypotenuse or the side opposite the right angle.

a and b are just the other two sides (doesn't really matter which is which)

Question 7:

c² = a² + b²

12² = a² + 5²

144 = a² + 25

144 - 25 = a²

119 = a²

a = 10.908712114635714411502154487373

(To the nearest whole number: 11)

Question 8:

c² = a² + b²

24² = 7² + b²

576 = 49 + b²

576 - 49 = b²

527 = b²

b = 22.956480566497992703585747092065

(To the nearest whole number: 23)

Question 9:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 90² + 140²

c² = 8,100 + 19,600

c² = 27,700

c = 166.43316977093238068928214785346

(To the nearest whole number: 166)

Hoped this helped! Tell me if there's something you don't understand. :)
