Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Some of your pictures are missing information, which angle is the right angle, but I will assume the information that is missing and will correct the incorrect information and will try to answer.

We are dealing with 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles, so let's recall the ratios of the lengths of the sides of these two special right triangles.

The side lengths are listed in the following order in the ratios below:

30-60-90 triangle

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

1 : √3 : 2

45-45-90 triangle

leg : leg : hypotenuse

1 : 1 : √2

1. Assume top angle is a right angle.

Upper triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle.

9√3 is opposite the 60° angle, so it is the longest side corresponding to 2 in the ratio.

x = (9√3)/√3 = 9

y = 2 × 9 = 18

Bottom triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle.

y = 18

z = 18/√2 = (18√2)/2 = 9√2

2.

Assume bottom left angle is a right angle.

Since 2 sides are congruent, they must be the legs.

This is a 45-45-90 triangle.

x = 7√2

3.

Assume bottom angle is right angle.

Short leg x

Long leg 9√3

This is the same triangle as the upper triangle of problem 1.

x = (9√3)/√3 = 9

y = 2 × 9 = 18

4.

The legs form the right angle and are congruent.

This is a 45-45-90 triangle.

x = 12/√2 = (12√2)/2 = 6√2

5.

I assume you mean the angle measure is 30° and not 130°.

Both triangles are 30-60-90 triangles.

Short leg: x

Long leg: 10

Hypotenuse: y

x = 10/√3 = (10√3)/3

y = 2 × (10√3)/3 = (20√3)/3

6.

30-60-90 triangle

short leg: 5√3

long leg: y

hypotenuse: x

x = 2 × 5√3 = 10√3

y = 5√3 × √3 = 15
