Vague question. Do you mean "find the length of side b of the larger triangle?"

I don't think it is a vague question. I think he just wants to find every term: \(a\), \(b\), \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\). ------------------------------------------------ Every triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle. So, if you look at the biggest triangle, you can deduce that \(x=7.5\) and \(z=7.5\sqrt{2}\). Then, look at the smallest triangle at the very left, and you will find that \(a=3.75\) and \(y=3.75\sqrt{5}\). Then, \(b=15-a=15-3.75=11.25.\)
