Answer:

Explanation:

we are given that given that 1/2T = 60 so T=120° so we also know R = 120 °

then W and S are also the same angle so 2z +240 = 360

2z = 120

z=60

W =60 °

S = 60 °

which makes sense b/c the small triangles also tell us that the sharp angles of the small triangles are 30 ° for the 30 , 60 90 triangle.

so by complementary angle we know that c = 60 °

we also know that a = 12 b/c all the small triangles are identical.

we also know that b= 90 ° also by complementary angle

we can also solve for length of SW and RT

cos(30)=adj / Hyp

12*Cos(30) = adj

12*
√(3) /2 = adj

but the adjacent side is 2 times for SW so

SW = 12
√(3)

for RT

sin(30) = Opp / hyp

12 * Sin(30) = Opp

12 * 1/2 = opp

but RT is times 2 again, sooo

RT = 12

you can also solve for the area of SRWT = 12 *12 = 144 units (what ever unties 12 is in) hmmm

That's all I can think of to solve for now :)
