Question

What are the values of a and b?

Answer 1

ok so if you notice there are 2 triangles
I was thinking that we write 2 equations for each triangle and the write them in terms of b Then we set them to equal each other and solve for a

Answer 2

Now since both triangles are right triangles we can write an equations based on the lengths of the triangles using Pythagorean theorem which is
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
where c is the hypotenuse which is basically the length/side which is exactly opposite the 90 degree angle

Answer 3

16 and 8

Answer 4

A is 16 and B is 8

Answer 5

So lets begin with the outter most triangle
