Step-by-step solution

Here are the solutions for the marked sides:

Part a· 2 steps

  1. Identify the trigonometric relationship.

    In the right-angled triangle, we are given the angle 45∘45^\circ, the side opposite to it (80), and we need to find the hypotenuse (xx). The sine function relates these:

    sin⁡(θ)=oppositehypotenuse\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
  2. Substitute the values and solve for xx.

    sin⁡(45∘)=80x\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{80}{x} x=80sin⁡(45∘)x = \frac{80}{\sin(45^\circ)}

    Since sin⁡(45∘)=22\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}:

    x=8022=1602=16022=802x = \frac{80}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{160}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{160\sqrt{2}}{2} = 80\sqrt{2} x≈80×1.4142=113.136x \approx 80 \times 1.4142 = 113.136

    The value of xx is 802\boxed{\mathbf{80\sqrt{2}}}.

Part b

46 cm\mathbf{4\sqrt{6} \text{ cm}}

This problem involves two right-angled triangles sharing a common altitude. Let hh be the common altitude.

  1. Calculate the altitude hh using the left triangle.

    In the left right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 8 cm8 \text{ cm} and the angle is 60∘60^\circ.

    sin⁡(60∘)=h8 cm\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{h}{8 \text{ cm}} h=8 cm×sin⁡(60∘)=8 cm×32=43 cmh = 8 \text{ cm} \times \sin(60^\circ) = 8 \text{ cm} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}
  2. Calculate the hypotenuse HyHy of the right triangle.

    In the right right-angled triangle, the altitude is h=43 cmh = 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm} and the angle is 45∘45^\circ.

    sin⁡(45∘)=hHy\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{h}{Hy} Hy=hsin⁡(45∘)=43 cm22=83 cm2=832 cm2=46 cmHy = \frac{h}{\sin(45^\circ)} = \frac{4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = \frac{8\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}\sqrt{2} \text{ cm}}{2} = 4\sqrt{6} \text{ cm}
  3. Calculate the total base YY.

    First, find the base segment of the left triangle (x1x_1) and the right triangle (x2x_2).
    For the left triangle:

    cos⁡(60∘)=x18 cm\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{x_1}{8 \text{ cm}} x1=8 cm×cos⁡(60∘)=8 cm×12=4 cmx_1 = 8 \text{ cm} \times \cos(60^\circ) = 8 \text{ cm} \times \frac{1}{2} = 4 \text{ cm}

    For the right triangle:

    tan⁡(45∘)=hx2\tan(45^\circ) = \frac{h}{x_2} x2=htan⁡(45∘)=43 cm1=43 cmx_2 = \frac{h}{\tan(45^\circ)} = \frac{4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}}{1} = 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}

    The total base YY is the sum of x1x_1 and x2x_2:

    Y=x1+x2=4 cm+43 cm=4(1+3) cmY = x_1 + x_2 = 4 \text{ cm} + 4\sqrt{3} \text{ cm} = 4(1+\sqrt{3}) \text{ cm}

    The marked sides are Hy=46 cmHy = \boxed{\mathbf{4\sqrt{6} \text{ cm}}} and Y=4(1+3) cmY = \boxed{\mathbf{4(1+\sqrt{3}) \text{ cm}}}.
