Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.

To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;

Let;

Katherine's age = x²

Alexandra = 5(x + 1)

Sum of their age = 109

5(x + 1) + x² = 109

5x + 5 + x² = 109

x² + 5x - 104 = 0

Solving for the equation; x = 8

Katherine's age is 8

In ΔLMN, n = 92 inches, ∠N=46° and ∠L=11°. Find the length of l, to the nearest inch.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The types of triangles are scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, right angled triangle and obtuse triangle.

Sine rule states that given a triangle with sides a, b, c and their corresponding angles opposite to the sides as A, B, C. Then:

\frac{a}{sinA} =\frac{b}{sinB} =\frac{c}{sinC}

In triangle LMN:

We can find the length of l using sine rule:

\frac{l}{sinL}=\frac{n}{sinN}  \\\\substituting:\\\\\frac{l}{sin(11)}=\frac{92}{sin(46)}  \\\\l=\frac{92}{sin(46)}*sin(11)\\\\k=24\ inches \\

Why it is not possible for two lines to be parallel and perpendicular?
max2010maxim [7]
Parallel lines have the same slope. for example, the two lines y = 6x + 3 and
y = 6x - 5 are parallel because they have the same slope, 6x.

the slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals, which means that you would flip the numbers of the fraction and make it negative. for example, the opposite reciprocal of -3x is 1/3x.

also, parallel lines never intersect, whereas perpendicular lines intersect at a 90 degree angle.

therefore, it isnt possible for two lines to be both parallel and perpendicular.
