why are the arteries have thick walls

Dear Student!

Well! it's very simple!

You know that arteries carry blood away from the heart, i.e. from heart to the rest of the body. The thick walls of arteries enable the heart to pump large amount of blood from the heart to the body without the arteries bursting!
