Chloe, the tutors are not here to do YOUR homework.

You have to try to solve these yourself.

Post your work for each problem and someone will help if you are stuck.

It helps if you draw a picture.

The problems I've done for you today all involve right triangles.

So read each problem and try to make a right triangle out of the info given.
