Answer:

(c) a = 14; b = 6√2

Explanation:

If you draw a vertical line at the right end of the top segment, it will cut off an isosceles right triangle to its right. That triangle is shown as having a leg length of 6, so the length of 'a' is ...

a = 8 +6 = 14

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the leg length, so ...

b = 6√2
