1. **State the problem:** We have a multiplication grid with unknowns $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$. The grid shows products of numbers in the top row and left column.
2. **Understand the grid:** The top row is $2$, $a$, $b$ and the left column is $\sqrt{7}$, $3\sqrt{5}$. The products are given as:
- $2 \times \sqrt{7} = 2\sqrt{7}$
- $a \times \sqrt{7} = c$
- $b \times \sqrt{7} = 5\sqrt{42}$
- $2 \times 3\sqrt{5} = 6\sqrt{5}$
- $a \times 3\sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{15}$
- $b \times 3\sqrt{5} = d$
3. **Find $a$:** From $a \times 3\sqrt{5} = 3\sqrt{15}$, divide both sides by $3\sqrt{5}$:
$$a = \frac{3\sqrt{15}}{3\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{15}{5}} = \sqrt{3}$$
4. **Find $c$:** From $a \times \sqrt{7} = c$ and $a = \sqrt{3}$:
$$c = \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{7} = \sqrt{21}$$
5. **Find $b$:** From $b \times \sqrt{7} = 5\sqrt{42}$, divide both sides by $\sqrt{7}$:
$$b = \frac{5\sqrt{42}}{\sqrt{7}} = 5 \sqrt{\frac{42}{7}} = 5\sqrt{6}$$
6. **Find $d$:** From $b \times 3\sqrt{5} = d$ and $b = 5\sqrt{6}$:
$$d = 5\sqrt{6} \times 3\sqrt{5} = 15 \sqrt{30}$$
**Final answers:**
- $a = \sqrt{3}$
- $b = 5\sqrt{6}$
- $c = \sqrt{21}$
- $d = 15\sqrt{30}$
