If jummai is 12years old and Tunde is 8years old and they share 15bananas in the ratio of their ages how many will each have sho
1 answer:
Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas respectively.
For the given ratio case we use the sharing ratio criterion to solve the problem.
Jummai is 12 years old.
Tunde is 8 years old.
Their ages are in ratio of;
A = 12 : 8
A = 3 : 2
The ratio's sum is 5.
15 bananas total are available for sharing.
Jummai will have bananas
= (15 x 3/5) = 9
Tunde will have bananas
= (15 x 2/5) = 6
Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas with them.

Hello!
Answer:
To solve, we will need to use Right-Triangle Trigonometry:
Begin by solving for angles ∠S and ∠R using tangent (tan = opp/adj)
tan ∠S = a / (1/2b)
tan ∠S = 3√5 / 14
tan ∠S ≈ 0.479
arctan 0.479 = m∠S (inverse)
m∠S and m∠R ≈ 25.6°
Use cosine to solve for the hypotenuse, or the missing side-length:
cos ∠S = 14 / x
x · cos (25.6) = 14
x = 14 / cos(25.6)
x ≈ 15.52
Both triangles are congruent, so we can go ahead and find the perimeter of the figure:
RS + RQ + QS = 28 + 15.52 + 15.52 = 59.04 units.
Hope this helped you! :)
