What are the values of a and b?
The figure shows a triangle with an altitude form the lower left vertex to diagonal right side and forming 2 smaller interior right triangles.
The left side of the triangle is 29.
The lower side of the triangle is b.
The perpendicular altitude inside the triangle is 20.
The part of the right side above the altitude is 21.
The part of the right side below the altitude is a.
The upper right angle is marked with one arc.
The interior angle below the altitude at the lower left vertex is marked with one arc.

lower a equals Start Fraction 20 over 21 End Fraction comma lower b equals Start Fraction 580 over 21 End Fraction
The correct answer is:
a) lower a = 400/21
b) lower b = 20/21
