Eight years ago, the daughters age was thrice the son's age. Now the daughter's age is 4 years more than the son's age. Find their present ages.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let s be the son’s current age and d be the daughter’s current age. The system of equations is:

s - 10 = 2(d - 10)

s = 3 + d

Since s is already set to an equation, we can use the substitution method for s in the other equation:

s = 3 + d

s - 10 = 2(d - 10)

3 + d - 10 = 2(d - 10)

Simplify and solve for d:

3 + d - 10 = 2(d - 10)

-7 + d = 2d - 20

-7 = d - 20

13 = d

The daughter is 13 years old. To solve for the son’s age, we will plug in the solution for d into one of the equations. The second one is simpler so we will use that:

s = 3 + d

s = 3 + 13

s = 16

The son is 16 years old. Let us use the other equation to check our solutions:

s - 10 = 2(d - 10)

16 - 10 = 2(13 - 10)

6 = 2(3)

6 = 6

It checks out. The son is 16 years old, and the daughter is 13 years old.

Answer 2

The present age of the daughter and son are 14 and 10 years respectively.

Let the age of the daughter be x

Let the age of the son be y

If the daughter's age is 4 years more than the son's age now, then,

x = y + 4 ............. 1

If Eight years ago, the daughters' age was thrice the son's age, then;

Daughter = x - 8

Son  = y - 8

Hence, x - 8 =3(y - 8).................. 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2 to have:

x - 8 =3(y - 8).

y + 4 - 8 = 3(y - 8)

y - 4 = 3y - 24

y - 3y = -20

-2y = -20

y = 10

Recall that x = y + 4

x = 10 + 4

x = 14

Hence the present age of the daughter and son are 14 and 10 years respectively.

A regular polygon has exterior angles of 60°
What is the sum of the polygon’s interior angles?

Answers

Answer:

720°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

Divide by 60 to find number of sides (n)

n = 360° ÷ 60° = 6

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 6 , then

sum = 180° × 4 = 720°

The sum of the exterior angles of a regular polygon is 360º

Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 60º/n

360º/n=60º

360/60=n

6=n

A polygon with 6 sides is a hexagon.

Use the formula (n-2)×180

(6-2)*180=4*180=720º

another solution...

you have 6 interior angles (hexagon)

if an exterior angle is 60º, the corresponding interior angle is 180-60=120º

you have 6 of these 120º angles

6*120=720º

what is the measure of angle A

Answers

Answer:

a = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with d

The ends of d + 53 are diameter ends. That means that d + 53 is a right angle

d + 53 = 90

d = 90 - 53

d = 37

Next, find b. The end points of b are the same end points as for 53 degrees. B is the central angle of 53 which means b = 2 * 53

b = 106

c is the supplement of b

c + b = 180

b = 106

c + 106 = 180

c = 180 - 106

c = 74

The triangle containing a and c is isosceles because 2 of the 3 angles are opposite radii. The lowest angle is also a because it is opposite one of the radii.

a + a + 74 = 180

2a = 180 - 74

2a = 106

a = 106/2

a = 53

Hard to believe, but there it is.

5w = 23 - 3f and 4f = 12 - 2w

Answers

Answer:

f = 1, w = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5w = 23 - 3f → (1)

4f = 12 - 2w (add 2w to both sides )

2w + 4f = 12 ( subtract 4f from both sides )

2w = 12 - 4f → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by - 3 and adding the result will eliminate f

20w = 92 - 12f → (3)

- 6w = - 36 + 12f → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate f

14w = 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )

w = 4

Substitute w = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for f

Substituting into (1)

5(4) = 23 - 3f

20 = 23 - 3f ( subtract 23 from both sides )

- 3 = 3f ( divide both sides by - 3 )

1 = f

V = [?] cm3

Answers

Answer:

213.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 base times height.

Using this formula, our square base is 8*8, or 64 square units.

Multiplying that by the height, 10. We get 64*10, 640.

Finally dividing by 3, we have 213.3333333333...

Rounding that to the nearest tenth, 213.3.

The volume of the given square pyramid is 480 cubic centimeter.

What is the volume?

Volume is the measure of the capacity that an object holds.

Formula to find the volume of the object is Volume = Area of a base × Height.

Given that, Slant height of pyramid is 10 cm and base is 8 cm.

The volume of square based pyramid =a²h/3.

Now, volume = (8²×10)/3

= 213.33 cubic centimeter

Therefore, the volume of a square pyramid is 213.33 cubic centimeter.

what is the total cost

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first find the perimeter of this oddly-shaped rink. We have a rectangle for which we are enclosing 3 of its sides, and the fourth "side" is a half-circle. Let's find the perimeter (or circumference) of the circle, divide it in half because we have half a circle, then add in the remaining 3 sides from the rectangle, shall we?

C = πd. The diameter of the circle is the same as the shorter length in the rectangle, 26. Therefore,

C = (3.14)(26) so

C = 81.64 m for a whole circle, and for half of that circle, the circumference is

C = 40.82 m

Now we can find the perimeter of the rink:

40.82 + 61 + 26 + 61 = p so

p = 188.82 m

If the fencing costs $6.20 per meter and we have 188.82 m, then the total cost is

[tex]cost=\frac{6.20dollars}{meter}*188.82meters[/tex]. The label "meter" cancels out, leaving us with

The cost of tickets of a comedy show of 'Gaijatra' is Rs 700 for an adult and Rs 500 for a child. If a family paid Rs 3,100 for 5 tickets, how many tickets were purchased in each category? ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to create a system of equations here, one for the NUMBER of tickets sold and one for the COST of the tickets. They are very much NOT the same thing.

We have that the total number of tickets is 5, and that that total is made up of adult tickets and child tickets. The equation for the NUMBER of tickets, then, is:

a + c = 5

Now for the money.

If a child ticket costs Rc 500, the expression that represents that that is in fact the cost of the child ticket is 500c;

likewise for the adult ticket. If the adult ticket costs Rc 700, the expression that represents that is 700a.

And we know that a total of Rs 1300 was spent on the tickets. The equation for the COST is

700a + 500c = 1300

Now go back to the first equation and solve it for either a or c, it doesn't matter which. I solved for a:

a = 5 - c  and we will sub that into the second equation for a:

700(5 - c) + 500c = 1300 and

3500 - 700c + 500c = 1300 and

-200c = -400 so

c = 2 tickets. That means that there were

a = 3 tickets sold for the adults.

Answers

(Answer:

P(Bl or Yl) = 45%

(Pk on 2nd draw) = 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 20 marbles (3 + 4 + 5 + 8) in the bag. Since each marble is replaced once drawn, there is no change in the total count from one draw to another (unconditional probability).

So

P(Bl or Yl) = (5 + 4)/20 = 9/20 = .45 = 45%

Then

P(Pk on 2nd draw) = P(1st draw) * P(2nd draw)

     = 9/20 * 8/20 = 72/400 = 9/50 = .18 = 18%
