Could you just draw it to scale and measure it?

Answer 21

first you need to do the work youself
@LizzyLove<3 I can tell you right now...If you save his picture above and submitt it you will be caught for plagerism...
Your school automatically runs EVERYTHING through subission checkers to make sure they YOUR work and not offline...that being said...you will get your tail in the fire of your school

Answer 22

Answer 23

Answer 24

Try not to rely on drawing things to scale, @Henry.Lister It's too subject to human error :(

Answer 27

I agree. But for a basic perception, and then you can work from there.

Answer 28

I just need u to walk me through it.... I dont want the answer, thank you very much :)

Answer 29

Ok lizzy :) I will help then...
Do you know what a leg of a triangle is?

Answer 30

Could you do something with ratios? Like if you matched the 1 to the 1 in the exact angle triangles and then the 1 to the root3?

Answer 31

yes, i do.

Answer 32

I would reccomend using the open source program GeoGebra...this is a computerized graphing tool... http://www.geogebra.org/cms/

Answer 33

Like.

Answer 34

1:1 and 1:root3

Answer 35

But then the problem arises that the 60 degree angle doesnt fit inside the 45.

Answer 36

@jim_thompson5910 did that, @SnuggieLad
turns out the largest triangle is a bit off...
