Thank you for everyone's help.. I am starting to see relationships and elements: How do I figure this out? I need help step by step and this is it.

Can you give angle measures ? Cant do much without those or some relationship between the other sides.

You don't say if these triangles are similar to the 1st set. I'll assume that they are, otherwise they can't be solved.
Shorter leg: 24 ft
Longer Leg: ?=24â3ft
Hypotenuse: ?=48ft

-------------------------
Shorter leg: 8(square root)15 yd
Longer Leg: ?8â45=24â5
Hypotenuse: ?16â15

Come on man,
These are almost undoubtedly 45,45,90 triangles, and you'd spend less time if you just read the chapter, and saw how to do them than bother to type them all into the computer.

These are not solvable. You either need two lengths or one length and one angle (other than the right angle).

You have to many variables to come up with a single solution.

it is not possible. you need at least two mesure ments to get an answer.
