Let M be the age of Maggie and B the age of her younger Brother:

Rewrite the problem from English language to Math's:
 B = 2.M - 10 (1)
and  M + B = 29 (Given) OR    B  =  29 -M (2)
Plug 2) into 1):

29 -M = 2.M -10
 29 + 10 = 3 M →→3M = 39 and M = 39/3 = 13
Replace M by 13 and you will find B =6

Then Maggie = 13 year old and her brother B = 6 year old

What are the missing sides and angles of this triangle? What is the area?
Butoxors [25]
This does not appear to be a right triangle.  However, we know 2 sides and the included angle, so can find the unknown side length.  Let x represent this length.  Then:

x^2 = (9 m)^2 + (12 m)^2 - 2(9m)(12 m)*cos 30 degrees, or

x^2 = 81 + 144 - 216(sqrt(3) / 2).  Please solve for x^2 and then solve the result for x, making sure to choose the positive value.  The result will be the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle.

With 1 of 3 angles known, and 3 of 3 sides known, you can use the Law of Sines to find the other two angles.  As a reminder, the Law of Sines looks like this:

   a            b              c
-------- = --------- = ----------
sin A       sin B       sin C.

You can give the 30-deg angle any name you want; then a, the length of the side opposite the 30-deg angle, which you have just found.  And so on.
